"University is unlike any other experience I’ve ever known. Nothing prepared me for the pressure cooker of feeling pulled in so many directions at the same time. Or feeling so completely overwhelmed by the expectations being placed on me.
Even when I wasn’t failing, I felt like I was. Nothing felt enough. The way I made it through was by forming a few really strong relationships with my peers - people that were going through similar things to what I was. People who got it. I’m not sure whether I would have made it through University without these relationships - however, without them, I know I wouldn’t have succeeded to the degree that I did. |
