Sophomore Year Review

I think this year has been an insightful and fun one. I went more into my major, discovered the stress of taking 18 credit hours, had an internship at a refugee resettlement agency, and dealt with trying to discover who I am. The time of college, at times is difficult to deal with and overcome, I thought I was confident until spring semester where I felt so overwhelmed and unsuccessful. I started to see what the bad side of college seems to be hidden when people say “college is great”- while an incredible opportunity I am happy to have now- it can also be over the top when you aren’t caring for yourself. Taking a break, chatting with someone, or even praying can make it much easier to get through. I’ve realized I can’t do everything, can’t control everything, and shouldn’t try. School may get to be alot, but it is important to value your work, and not be too hard on yourself. I will try to remember this going forward, and give myself a break when its needed.
