I’m starting to realize that college isn’t about the grades or the degree; it’s about figuring out who you are in a world that constantly tries to shape you into something else. I spent so much time stressing over exams and papers that I forgot to enjoy the little moments—like late-night chats with my roommate or the smell of pizza wafting through the dorm after a long study session. Now, as gradu...
I once thought that keeping my feelings bottled up would make me stronger, but it almost destroyed me. If you're struggling with something—anxiety, heartbreak, whatever it may be—please find someone to talk to.

I just realized that my entire college experience has been a series of high-stakes game shows disguised as exams. I mean, one minute you're memorizing 200 pages of lecture notes, and the next, you're locked in a room with a ticking clock, praying your brain doesn't short circuit. And those study groups?

Someone once told me that the fear of rejection is often worse than the rejection itself, and I didn’t believe them until I found myself ghosted by someone I thought I had a real connection with.
