I think these diagrams sum up my college experience so far. I used to think it was a simple balance, or at least in high school it was. I got to see my friends everyday because we were in the same school day after day. School always ended at 2pm and although I had a job, I got plenty of sleep most nights. In college, it has not been that simple. I have made some great friends, but it’s still difficult to see one another outside of class. Also, I have to make time to see my other friends from high school. I’m in a long distance relationship now, which isn’t easy to handle mentally or physically, and I can’t devote nearly as much of my time as I want to into seeing him. I don’t have  a job right now, but I would like to have one. But then again, that would eliminate more time I already feel I don’t have. I feel the pressure to maintain good grades, but also join clubs and build up my resume. I go to sleep a lot later than I used to.Oh, and I have to remember to eat. It’s not that all of this responsibility scares me, but it brings back my anxiety that I’ve struggled with since I was little. However, I know this is college. I know this is part of growing up. And I know I will be able to balance it all as I continue to grow and adjust.
