Taking the easy, comfortable route is never a way to grow. College has taught me how to be independently resilient in times of uncertainty. At the beginning I had a hard time fostering authentic friendships. I went from having straight A's to barely passing after switching my major. Needless to say, I was so down on myself that I wanted to drop out and go back to being a barista. I dreaded social outings + being asked "how's school?, how's the job search?"
I half-kid that my saving grace was going to yoga classes each week! It might not be for everyone, but there's something about being in a quiet studio with a bunch of strangers that makes me feel like I'm not alone. We all have our own challenges, and must use them as ways to guide us to find our true north.
Be kind to yourself, and remember that our emotions are like the weather. The clouds may seem like they will never break, but in time the sun always comes back around.
