Not sure if you will need this, but I'm a nursing major I was content last year in college (really the only thing I didn't like was the fact I decided to work for the school newspaper). This year I just feel like I'm dreading everything. My ex was a HUGE part of my life last year (we met in my Senior year of HS). I'm still so in love with my ex, and we only just stopped talking two days ago...I miss my ex so much and I can't imagine college without my ex.. Second, I'm really dreading newspaper. I LOVE the people in it, but I HATE the work. It gives me 75 bucks a month, and I also work in retail at a store. I hate the deadlines, I hate having to track people down and try to get them to let me interview them before my article is due, and I hate when the editor is always on me, asking if I contacted people or if I've written my story. I did newspaper all last year, and it kept me busy, but I was soooo stressed. Like I said, I love the people in it, but the only reason why I'm staying in it is because it will look great on a grad. school application - even the editor last year told me last year that if I stay in it I'd probably be in a top position by senior year..that would look amazing on an application - but it just creates too much stress I'm involved in volunteer organizations on campus, but none as prominent as newspaper (Besides senate and containment committee, it's the most well known organization and "important" organization on campus). I like an organization that is involved and proactive, which is what newspaper is. So, that's another reason why I stay in it. On the other hand, it's so stressful for me Also, I'm so self-conscious about myself, and I always feel like people think negative things about me. Whenever I'm invited to a party (as I was A LOT last year), I always assume they do it out of pity, even though that's prolly not why. I can be funny, but it's hard for me to get the image of who I THINK I am out of my head - the kid I was as a freshie in HS.. On the whole, I miss my ex so so much (I fell in love I'm pretty sure), I'm dreading newspaper (If I quit, I'd like to join something with as much prominence on campus, but less stressful). And I think of myself in a negative way..this is why I'm so depressed right now. What should I do? Thanks!... Read More »
