Dear Brute,

I am a student in college majoring in Human Science with the concentration of Textile and Apparel. My classification is a junior and I have a year and a semester until I graduate. I am attend school full time, work part time, and I live off campus. I am becoming stress and depress from the heavy work load to my personal life issues. Along with this I will be starting an internship within my field of profession. I am becoming overwhelmed with all the responsibilities of living on my own, trying to work as much as possible and keeping my grades and GPA up in school. Most of all, I really miss my family back home and having that support in my reach. I am beginning to believe the move away from home was a bad idea and that I should have went to a university closer to home. I just want to throw my hands up and quit it all. I want all of this to be over so I want have to stress anymore. I am barely eating any longer and I do not get to sleep, hardly. There are times when I feel like I will break down at any moment. I do not want to do this anymore for I’m sick of it all. I’m on the verge of throwing it all away and calling quits. What should I do?

Dear Inspiring Designer:

I really do understand where you are coming from. We all go through this motion in life more than one time. Still today I have my moments of doubt and hard times. Giving up will not be the route you would what to follow. From what I understand, you are a very successful student who has great things in store for you. You have succeeded this far so why would you throw all your accomplishments away? You have put in hard work and long hours to get this far and you are too close to finish one of the greatest accomplishments in your life to be giving up. I understand you are overwhelmed with all these events of life coming at you, but if life and school was easy then every single person would have a degree and be successful. I’m sure your family is supporting you in every possible way being that you are away from home. I can tell you are strong and motivated. Keep moving to the bigger picture and do let this bump in the road stop you. The struggle you encounter today is the strength you need for tomorrow. You can do it!

Dear Brute,

My lady and I have been together for two years now. I am attending a performance of arts school because my ultimate goal in life is to be a performer and become a professional dance instructor. She has recently been having problems with my profession and the time it takes up in my life. I do not understand what the problem is because she already knew my passion was dancing and how much work I put in it. We had a huge argument about it and as it ended she gave me an optimal, which was, give up dancing or give up our relationship. I really love her and do not want to lose her but dancing is my talent and my passion. I do not know what to do?
