Sorry for the late post, guys. A lot of crap has been happening and I never though this would happen to me but I literally haven't had time among the emotional blah and schoolwork to fit in a nice post here. But yeah. Careers. Let's tackle something here.
Grades.
Do grades really matter? I'm a junior in college and I'm already burnt out. I spent this past weekend feeling blue and depressed and lost. Completely lost. I know what I want to do for my career. I want to go into film. But this past weekend, I felt so burnt out that I couldn't even bring myself to do any homework even though I had the whole weekend and the whole apartment to myself to do it. Instead I watched episodes of Buffy the Vampire Slayer and binge-ate a whole pizza plus cinnamon sticks. And now I'm paying for it today. And the only word I could find to describe my feelings is that I feel "lost." I just don't know where to go from here to get myself back to that ambitious "I'm going to effing get it done" attitude I had before.
I'm going to try to put together a "Motivational Folder" full of past assignments I've done and letters from my friends saying they loved me which hopefully will help get back up on the horse. What are some ways you guys deal when feeling the pressure to succeed is too much?
Totally was exactly where you are about school my jumior year too. That's such a good idea to put together a motivational folder!
