Defeated

Lately life has not been what I've wanted it to be.  I find myself struggling on a daily basis to succeed at the things put before me.  I put tremendous amounts of effort into everything that I do, and it is such a discouragement to see that all of my effort wasn't enough.  I thought I had my life figured out. I knew what I wanted my future to be like, but now I'm wishing that I had chosen a different path.  I know that life isn't easy and college makes it even harder, but should it be so hard that you begin questioning if you're on the right path?  I have learned that failure is going to happen and I am almost ok with failing every once in a while.  I am not perfect and I don't want to be, but I would like to feel the sense of victory and accomplishment on occasion.
