School Stress

Since it is February, my classes have start up again. I am back in school and will be there for the next 4 months. 
School literally just started and I CANNOT wait until it's over. whyyyy!!!
I have recently been going through this phase where I don't want to go to school anymore. I mean I never really liked school to begin with, but recently I have been really doubting myself. Like REALLY!!
Now I don't know if this is coming from me hating my major (math), me going through a phase in my life (all my friends are going through this as well), or if I am just not meant for the school life. 
Now you might be sitting there reading this and thinking, YOU'RE OVER REACTING! But I assure you, I am not. 
It might be a college student issue. Starting to live in the real world and maybe the stress is getting to me. 
I also hate the thought of wasting my parents money. They are working hard and getting me into college and I'm not even sure about any of this. They want me to go to college and get a degree, but for what? Something I don't even like. I really appreciate everything they are doing for me, but sometimes I want to just stop and tell the how I really feel. 
I've got super strict asian parents, so life is even harder.
Now I am going to tell you something weird. I don't mind the thought of working hard. Like hard labor. Like 14 hour shifts kind of hard labor. The thought of that sounds better than going to school. I am the type of person (I may be the only person) who hates just sitting there. Unless it's something I like or watching movies or something I ACTUALLY enjoy with all my heart, I can't stand just sitting in one spot. Even when I do enjoy something so much, sitting there just gets so.... boring after a period of time.  
That's the same with school. You go to a class and just sit there... learning. 
Then I think about my future after getting a job and I think about some really boring jobs where I sit in a cubicle for hours and hours, just sitting there, working on a computer. The sound of that is just horrid. I would rather be working hard and doing something, walking around, just anything so I don't have to just sit there. 
Now you might think I'm nuts at this point, but I feel like I have a valid reason to be myself. 
Some people enjoy going to school and learning new things and I ENVY those people. I wish I was the type of person who wanted to learn and stuff. But I'm not. 
I feel like if I started working now, I could start earning money and everything. I feel like that would be better than me going to college and not really liking what I am doing. I'm not even good at school. I don't know. 
Let me know if any of you guys are dealing with this or have dealt with it. 
Any advice? (any would help)

The Great And Wonderful Mall

So I went over to my friends house the other day. Whenever I hang out with her one of three things ALWAYS happens. We either go get coffee, get Chipotle, or go shopping. Yesterday was one of those days where we did all three. Yes, the JOY!!
We went to a couple of different stores and although I found a couple things I kind of liked, I didn't think it was worth it to buy now and pay with my money. I'll just wait until it gets closer to summer time and then my mom will just buy things for me for our trip to India!
Here are some of the things that I really just HAD to buy and it was pretty cheap. 

I got this earring from Forever 21. I am recently really into like boho/indie/gypsy jewelry and I love the crystal ones, so I had to have this. It was super simple and it just spoke out to me and told me to buy it. My friend also really liked it on me, so yeah. This was only $4.99.

This is from a different store. Although I wanted to buy something like this from Forever 21, I couldn't find any. We then went to Dry Goods and I found this. There were a couple different color choices, but this one (turquoise) was more appealing to me. This one was $8.99 and worth it.  

I also went to Lush! Obvs. This one is called the Fizzbanger Ballistic. It is a Bath Bomb and it smells amazing. I can't wait to try it out. This was $5.95

This is called the Love Locket Ballistics, a Bath Bomb. I wanted to buy this the last time I went to Lush, but I had bought so many already I didn't want to get another. And this is HUGEEE. The lady at the store told me I can use it up to three times.  $11.95, which makes sense. 

Now I'm not sure what this smells like, but I had written it down to buy it, so I'm sure it smells like a flower or something. I also thought it looked SUPER cute! It is called Tisty Tosty and it's a Bath Bomb. This one was $6.35. 
This one is called Sakura, a Bath Bomb. It was also on my list. Sadly I must've hit it on something or set it down too hard. It broke a little. But that's ok. This one was $6.45.

This is called the Big Blue, another Bath Bomb. This was another one that I really wanted to get the last time, but decided against it. So I got it this time. It was $6.40.
I hope you guys enjoyed that. I noticed I only got like Bath Bombs this time, which is weird because I LOVE my bubble baths. Let me know which ones are your favorite and if you've used any of them. They are all new to me, so I can't wait to try them out. 

I also want to kind of update you guys on my last Lush products that I got. I've use the Rose Jam Bubbleroon, Creamy Candy Bubble Bar, Bright Side, and the Rose Queen Bath Bomb. 
I am SERIOUSLY in LOVE with the Rose Jam Bubbleroon and the Creamy Candy Bubble Bar. The Rose Jam one left my skin feeling SOOO freaking smooth, like you don't understand. I usually have really dry and bad skin especially during the winter time, so that did wonders to my skin. LOVED it, Recommend it, I will go and purchase more in the future for sure! 
The Creamy Candy one did the same for me as the Rose Jam, but I think this one smells more heavenly for me personally. I usually Hate the smell of bubble gum or candy, but this one was definitely amazing! 
The Rose Queen one was pretty good. I loved the smell. I Love Roses, if you can't tell. It had pieces of petals, twigs, and other bits and bobs, if you're into that. I didn't mind it. Loved that one as well, and I will probably get more of it. 
The Bright Side, I finally figured out which one that was, was good. It was really citrusy and fresh. I was ok with that one. It didn't do wonders to my skin, but didn't hate it. I use it on my little brother since he loves bubble baths and his skin could use a little help as well. This one also doesn't smell to girly, so he likes that.   
I think that's all I've used so far. I broke  a couple of them into pieces since like half of it goes a long way. I used the one for my brother 4 times because it's just that big. 
Hopefully that might give you guys a little more insight to the Lush products, if you guys were curious.
