the week before college begins

The constant ticking which has been ringing in my ears is finally coming to an end this Monday. The last few weeks has been me finding healthy coping mechanisms to start college life with. I have not always been the greatest when it comes to dealing with anxiety. I would completely avoid competitions I thought I had no choice of winning. I would much rather waste an opportunity much rather risk failure. In this way, I have turned down debating and Model UN opportunities, ditched school rather than give a test I was not prepared for and lie incessantly to catch up on my schedule. Overall, the very thought of how my life had become frightened me. It did not help with the added pressure from my parents. A mother who looked at me as her ‘golden child’ after facing difficulties with my sister and a nearly absent father who was surprisingly always present during report card day. But this year, things will be different. After I made into one of my country’s premier colleges I promised to be kinder to myself. No matter how difficult. I wrote a list of healthier coping mechanisms so I would be less harsh on myself. I wish to share that with whoever’s reading this, in the hope that it may help you in any small way:

Listen to your senior’s advice. Be consistent with your coursework. There is nothing more helpful than consistency, no matter how small the habit is. Read all the readings if possible and make comprehensive notes. This will help in building your critical thinking skills. You will thank yourself later. Remember, everyone is basically writing the same thing. It’s up to you to make your work stand out.

Pay attention in class, online or offline. It’s amazing how much one can get done just by paying attention in class. It’s not as easy because we constantly have the option of looking at our phones instead. However, I think, I will try and switch my camera on so that I have to pay attention rather than look at my phone. You can try that too.

Embrace the journey. There will be ups and downs, but it is up to you what you do after it. Whether you cower down and move away from the challenge or you take it in your stride. I have struggled a lot with this and I hope to be better to myself and look at every obstacle as a learning experience and not deny myself opportunities because of fear,

Know your limits. It’s easy to get carried away with the plethora of co -curriculars at your disposal. Understand that maintaining a good GPA is your key goal. But at the same time, explore fields you wished to but could not earlier. Nothing better than a clean slate that college provides.

Take care of your health. Getting enough sleep is one of the ways you can. Romanticizing a four- hour sleeping schedule will only do you harm. Moving in some way or the other such as light exercise is not only good for your body but also for your mind. Definitely drink as much water as you can daily.

Practise meditation and manifestation. Now, this is not synonymous with dissociating and daydreaming.  Intentional thinking and mindful actions have greatly helped me control my anxiety better and I hope to continue with it in college.

For me, I wish to give writing and drama a chance in college. I have always been interested in both but I was boxed into different categories in school. I will break through these boxes in college.

Now,  these are some of the thoughts I am taking with myself as I start college. I hope you draw some inspiration from this as well.I will be giving an update as to how I followed my goals :)

Till then x

you know what i love? the phrase 'fighting back tears' like it implies that there's violence in not feeling your feelings, like it is a battle to not express your emotions, like you are at war when you aren't kind enough to let yourself feel.

[anotherusernnamethatistaken]

this site definitely doesn't allow you to paste the link to any article blocked by a paywall (say, a NYT article) so that you can read it free of charge! that would be illegal and would benefit broke college students too much. it definitely does not do that. promise.
