So, as I enter my senior year at UWM, I find myself kind of stuck in this weird zone. I feel excited to be done with my undergrad, but I also feel so overwhelmed with the idea that I am not as prepared as I should be. I look around at so many of my peers and, comparison is truly the thief of joy. I try to instill this great sense of confidence within myself that “I am doing great”, “I work hard”, and “there’s nothing to worry about”. But I can’t help but think, “What if I just did one more thing?” or “What if I graduate and try to get into the professional or corporate world and they don’t see the value?” As I get closer and closer, I feel overwhelmed. I try to ease my mind by faith, personal hobbies, or even subtle encouragements and affirmations but sometimes it all still sits at the front of my mind. But, I’m learning to work through the doubt and fear.
