Still, it's tough trying to combine my acting career with my college career.

I was strong enough not to let them get the best of me, but I'm definitely one who has taken what people say to heart and let it eat away at me.

Music is so powerful to me. I had my IPod and headphones, and my sad playlist. I kind of ventured off for just a little bit to get into the scene.

Sure, I have a job now, but the acting business isn't always that solid, and so I wanted something to fall back upon.

Even though college has been hard, I don't want to give up.

In real life, one of my friends was killed in a car accident during our sophomore year.

I think it's so important to keep learning and keep your brain active.
