What mental state are you in ? As a college student, it isn’t always easy to feel happy consistently. Being happy in college seems to be looked at as something so foreign because of all the responsibilities we take on. A college student has so much to think about, we’re pretty vocal about our academic and financial struggles, but do we ever speak on our internal ones?
It’s until you’re laying down in your bed at night or analyzing yourself in the mirror that you realize the huge void inside of you. Something that’s missing from our life and we can’t quite put our finger on it. Is it because I don’t have a car yet ? Is it because he doesn’t like me ? Is it because I don’t have enough money to buy the things I want ? All these trivial questions pass our mind, but the answer is no. If you’re ever feeling a non fulfillment in your life there’s never anything a boy can do for you, nowhere a car can drive you, and not enough attention in the world clothes can bring you. All the answers are inside of you, look within yourself and find that missing piece of your life that haunts you everyday.
Repair your relationships with loved ones, take care of your body, level up in your career field and do you. There’s nothing in the world that can stop you from achieving what’s meant for you. Don’t let being a “college student” stop you from repairing your mental state and finding what brings you endless joy. Need a break? Take it. Want to switch majors last minute ? Do it. Want to cut the cord on negative people? Throw out the toxicity.
It’s when we clear all the noise surrounding us, that’s when we finally have a clear path of fulfillment and figuring ourselves out. Our true selves, not the mask we put on everyday. College students hurt so much in silence and it’s exhausting. Happiness and fulfillment doesn’t grow on trees, but once you create or find it you’ll know. Aspects of life like this are never unsure.
