Yesterday I was at a really low point. Yesterday and the day before actually. I didn’t have work but I still felt like I had so much to do and I just felt like the whole thing was just not even worth it. My body just felt heavy and I questioned what I was doing with my life. I questioned what was happening in general.
The councilor that I spoke with was really sweet and supportive. He almost seemed like a father figure in a way. He essentially just reaffirmed that I didn’t have to deal with questioning my major now and if I wanted to go to grad school, it didn’t matter what I did for my undergrad. It was just nice to talk to someone who understood. He basically told me that “exam time is an exception” and that honestly resonated with me so much. I didn’t need to go to the gym and I didn’t need to eat healthy. There is truly nothing quite as stressful as exam season and it just sucks. Any exams that you guys are going through, I really feel for you. Just put in the time and the effort because you truly got this.
- Thank you to the councilor in Ontario, I don’t remember your name but you made my day better
- I only have one exam left and for that I am very grateful, even if this sucks
- Chicken. I’m sorry to the animal lovers but chicken is my favourite proteins and I had these amazing chicken nuggets today.
- Cake. One of my coworkers is leaving to become a police officer and she brought a retirement cake. It was so cute and I was very excited to see that.
- Work. For keeping me active and moving around instead of sitting at a desk and pondering my life. It keeps me distracted and moving.
For all of you guys going through more exams right now, you’re almost done and you got this!
Love always,
-R
