Personally I do not think I struggle as much as Sarah does because unlike her, I am close to home, I have my closest friends and I think I am a decently outgoing person, I do not struggle with anxiety. I will admit sometimes there are moments when I feel a little nervous but besides that I do pretty well. The classes do lightly sway me mentally sometimes but it never gets too bad. Honestly, I think that the one thing I will struggle with is my classes. They do not seem to be hard but maybe the assignments will be a bit of a struggle. Other than that I do not see myself struggling with anything. As I mentioned earlier I am doing pretty well here in college. Do not get me wrong, I love college, but I also love going home to my family and friends who do not go to the same college as me. I look forward to every break I get, I have mentioned this before, but I go home every weekend. So when I hear that we have another long break coming up I get really excited. I do not know what I will be doing for my spring break but I will surely think of something. I would make plans for summer break, but I have to go complete my AIT portion for my job in the military and it will take up my whole summer, I might even be a week late to college again unfortunately. I might not struggle next semester with classes too much but I think I will struggle next year due to missing a week and having to catch up on all my work. I do hope to make more friendships next semester though because I know that connections are important and I would honestly enjoy having some more friends to hang out with and build bonds with.
Dear writer,
I appreciate your insight into how you relate to Sarah and what things you are not alike, yet can understand or relate to her and how she feels. I would like to start off by saying I like how you let us know as readers how you personally feel similar or not like sarah does throughout your blog. When you say you are close to home so you do not feel like sarah does I agree with you i am the same way. I go home every weekend and it makes me feel as opposite as sarah does being far from home. I am also close with my friends too even though some of them go to different colleges or live farther away than before. I would not say I am not outgoing and I tend to come off more rude than friendly because of my resting face. Also sometimes my tone while talking but I do not mean to come off as rude I just can not help my resting face. At certain moments I have struggled with anxiety or get very anxious or antsy at times. But I have been good about hiding it well from others and to the point where people could not notice. My classes can be very stressful at times or stress me out to the point I will take a nap or stop doing work in general. But sometimes my classes make me nervous but in the end I do not let it take over and I go home on the weekends because it gives me a piece of mind to be away from school and school work so I get to relax nd not stress about getting everything done. And I get my work done ahead of time so I can enjoy my weekend and take time off from doing school work.
