I’m writing this because I’ve been really busy the past few days. Lots and lots of applications I’ve had to send out, and I lowkey need to rest a bit. I’ve been drinking a horrendous amount of coffee and energy drinks and yet they somehow make me MORE tired. This is probably gonna be a short entry but I do want to make it a habit to write everyday, even if it seems mundane. Maybe in the future someone will read this.
Grind culture
More and more our worth becomes tied to how much we’re willing to put in and sacrifice for our careers. This is bad, but unfortunately inevitable under capitalism and the current system. I guess a good way to ameliorate this is by trying to find something you’re passionate about. I’ll write more about that later once I gain back some energy.
Mental
Getting more traction, though it’s definitely still brushed away. College is hard and gets harder. Somehow I still persevere through it, but I miss my mom and dad and my sister. I think it’s important to figure out ways to find your people especially if you live so far away from your family and friends. I’m working on it, and it’s been hard.
But some good advice I was told from my dad is to separate your spheres. What I mean from this is that you don’t have to be someone you’re not just because you think you’d get more professional opportunities out of it. At least for me, I feel like I can be my unique self and talk about what I want while also keeping my professional aspirations separate.
