To the Burnt-Out College Girl

I know you’re tired, and I know you’re stressed. 

You’ve been working so hard for so long, that even stressful things are just numbing now. 

You’re doing your best to pull off the end of the semester without losing hold of anything, but it’s hard. 

You’re doing great. Classes are almost over, and you’re going to get some time off for the holidays to recover. 

Take some time to drink some water, take a bath, and regroup. 

You only have a few more weeks to go!

Burn-out is real, and in college it’s just expected for you to be able to function on little to no sleep, and go to class, and do homework, and work a side job, while participating in organizations or internships.

It’s okay to say no to things, and it’s okay to admit you’re tired and need rest. Nobody can function without sleep, and you won’t do your best work walking around like a zombie with an iced coffee. 

Breathe deep, you’ve got this!
