Stress & Anxiety

 

9 / 21 / 23

    Anxiety and stress love to assault me with their cruel intentions. Right when you feel like you learned to breathe again, everything seems to come crashing down again. Money happens to seem the constant in my life, we need it. But it definitely doesn't need us. I went to college and guess what in America, college is one hefty price tag. All for what, a piece of paper that can't even land me a job in order to pay off those damn bills. It's a vicious cycle, and it is one that loves to try and cripple me with anxiety. it makes you feel confused, doubtful, resentful for even getting an education. Should've, would've, could've, and what if are the words that bring chaos. 

STOP!

    I got an education because I wanted to learn. Learn how to become the voice I am today. to be able to form my own opinions because I actually learned how to experience life. I made lifelong friends who I know will always be a part of me. I experienced memories that only you can have in college. I went to hockey games, I fell in love, I cried, I screamed. I LIVED and Learned! Yes, today I doubt my choices, not because of the experience, but because the debt is what seems to be taking over center stage.  

BREATHE!

Money can't buy you happiness. That is a load of bullshit. Money can buy you stability and comfort. It can pay off college. If I had money, I would use it to pay off the loans I have due to getting an education. How is it that education isn't free? Knowledge is power, but I guess even knowledge has a price. Nothing comes free in life. 

Know this though, the education you received, can never be taken away from you! That in itself is the true power.

I am a college graduate! Class of 2020 Bachelors in ENGLISH! I wouldn't change a thing, well except for the debt, but it just means I will have anxiety and stress comfort me like a weighted blanket.
