NAVIGATING STRESS IN COLLEGE: toxic positivity, being busy, unrealistic expectations, how to heal ♡

[@1994haphuong]

People at the ages of 30s and 40s and even 50s still have not got any ideas what they want to do. I am telling you guys if I know how my future in 5 to 10 years look like I would not have gone to college. Because what is the point? College is not where we compete. It is where we network, help others, explore about ourselves, and learn many life lessons. Do not let others' opinions bother you. You are doing excellently. You are moving towards your goals at your own pace. The people that you met, the lessons you learned, the experience you have been through, and the achievements you made are like no others. Do your best for you, not for others! And also keep in mind that you are loved and appreciated!

Thank you so much for this comment! More people need to see and hear this… it’s all about what you want out of your college experience. I realize now that it’s a once in a lifetime experience to be surrounded by so many amazing ppl and opportunities to explore, and I plan to take full advantage of it! Def needed to hear this, esp during the first few weeks of college ☺️
