I like your attitude! Listen, I shouldn't be doing it either. I'm taking a weekend job, I have to apply for teacher's certification programs, I have to write my senior project and pass two other classes. There are a lot of things I need to do, but I'm too excited about NaNo this year not to try and fit it in too. So many of my friends are doing it for the very first time, and I have a story I want to write. I know I shouldn't, and the idea of fitting in all these things that I need to do is scary, but I want to face that challenge.
Honestly, even though college does take some getting used to, the first semester is not typically so hard that you can't do it if you really set your mind to it. My first semester, I had an extremely time-consuming extracurricular, LARP. It ended up being miserable and I quit, but it was miserable because the people who were in it sucked. I had time for it, for the most part. I didn't do NaNo that year because I forgot about it, but I would've had time if I wanted to. The next two years, I did it just fine. What you can handle is up to you, but if you think you want to do NaNo, I support you entirely. ♥ I can't wait to see what you come up with! And stringing David Bowie songs into a story is an awesome idea.
