We all reach that time in our lives where we sit back and reflect on what we have already done and more horrifically what we have yet to do, and for me recently this has been a very daunting and scary task. This sense of being in limbo.
I do feel that this is something all third year does as they have mere weeks before their last deadline and then after that they have the vast big scary future which is nothing yet and that they themselves must fill. But until that last hand it date, there is just hard work and endless amounts of stress.
I think the hardest bit about being a university student is the sheer amount of work you have to do. But students are lazy binge drinkers right? That is what the media tells us anyway. I hate that perception of students. I get out of bed in the morning I would have you know. I know having a full time job is hard, but when I worked the ultimate reward was when you walk out the door at the end of the day you can switch off, watch a few television shows and relax. However, as a student you walk out of the lecture hall, open research and do not end until the pools of coffee you have drank throughout the day to simply keep you going ware off and you fall into a stress filled sleep. Furthermore, you have such a small amount of money to your name that your cupboard is filled simply with herbs and spices and that alone is simply not a meal.
I am not making this post as a feel so sorry for me, I'm a poor student, wah wah wah. Very much the opposite. I'm saying that we all have stresses that are dragging us down to the point where you have no discernible life left in you, and mine is finishing my degree.
For me the next few weeks will be me keeping my head above water and pushing through in attempts to find the light at the end of the tunnel (so many metaphors in one sentence, I'm sorry). But I was wondering, do you ever get this feeling where you aren't full blown stressed but you certainly aren't relaxed in the slightes. If so what makes you fell like this?
Thank you SO much for all of you who follow me, its unbelievable to me that anyone reads any of my blog posts and spends time to even comment, you really do make my day. Does anyone actually like these talky/rambly posts? I only wrote one because this is what I know enjoy reading and would love your feedback. I feel my blog has got lost somewhere but I am steering it back to being what I want to write!
