214 | When You're Struggling Through College - And Feeling Ashamed of It..
Despite what the highlight reels may show online, college in real life can be challenging. Overwhelming. Confusing. And a somewhat lonely experience - even when you're surrounded by people.
You've shed your identity of a high school student, yet still trying to figure out who you are in the world as a young adult.
You are desperate to make your parents happy and prove your success through your grades - but that pressure can only last so long before it takes its toll under the mountain of homework and exams.
Time feels like it's forever escaping you and a good night's sleep is a luxury you wish you could afford.
Your mind is forever spinning over 'which is the right major???' and you're exhausted from the endless social events you're attending to try to make new friends. And perhaps you've made some - but still, you're not yet comfortable enough to share with them how you're really feeling.
So you keep pushing your stress aside and hide it beneath a smile - a smile that's only surface deep. Beneath it, is a girl who's struggling, and is in need of extra support...
If you can relate to what I described above as a college student, then make sure you check out this amazing interview with college sophomore, Elle Snyder. She bravely opens up about the toughest days of her first year of college and shares all the things she's learned from that struggle to help you through yours. <3
