Hopefully I'm not the only one feel just a bit overwhelmed right now, because there are definitely days where I feel like that is the case.
Am I the only one who feels like the first half of this semester has been kind of wasted? I feel like I took too long to adjust to college life. I feel like I have missed all this time I could have been studying, writing, reading, practicing, and just being productive in general. I thought that my transition into college was going to be a little smoother, and I think that this is the point in the semester where I am finally realizing that I have no idea what I am doing.
Right now it feels like I am never on-top of what I need to be doing, that I am not producing the quality of work that I expect from myself.
There is so much to do, so much to be done, and so much that I feel I have missed. It's gotten to the point where I have to forcibly remind myself to sleep even though my brain is running faster that I can catch it.
Tomorrow I become a Strive for College mentor to a local high school senior. I am so excited to be a part of this, and so incredibly scared at the same time. How am I supposed to give this high school student advice about college? I still have no idea what I am doing!
There are days that I feel just fine, but that is probably because I am not doing everything I should be doing. I feel loath to change these days though. I am fairly certain that if I try to do one more thing my head might explode. I doubt it, but it does feel like that some days.
Hopefully I'm not the only one experiencing this tiny mental breakdown, and if I am, then I would love to know the secrets that I seem to be missing at the moment.
I totally relate to feeling overwhelmed at this point in the semester! At this point last year, I felt the same way. I think it is just the time of year honestly. You are not alone. Every girl I live with is feeling the same way. We can get through this!
ReplyDeleteI think everyone probably relates with you, even though some will be unwilling (word play, self-five) to confess. Every day is a tiny breakdown for most of us. The best advice I can give it to hang in there.... think of that poster with the kitten who is hanging on to the branch....
ReplyDeleteRegardless, you got this.
