This week has been a whirlwind of events. From sorority recruitment and scholarship applications to Honor Board executive board nominations, it has definitely been a busy week. Going through all of this and seeing how much I have on my plate, I have realized that it is time to set my priorities straight when it comes to spreading myself too thin.
I feel like we have all felt this way one time or another, wondering if we are able to handle all of the commitments we take on, and if it is too much for one person to handle. After going through this myself, I began to feel like I should take a step back and set my priorities straight. Sitting and thinking for a while, I realized that it isn’t always important to be involved in everything and that one should find something that they are good at and stick with it. It is great to try new things because that is what allows us to grow as people, but, at the same time, it is also best to not go crazy worrying if you are involved in enough, because chances are you are doing everything that you should be.
Even with everything that I am involved in, from the Honor Board and club lacrosse team to The Stute and the Cyber Defense Team, I find myself sometimes believing that I am not involved in enough here on campus, when, in fact, I am.
Not believing that I am involved in enough on campus and how that made me feel has allowed me to see that no matter what you do, in the end, you should always be who you are. When you can learn not to overthink things and accept that you are good enough and that you are doing everything exactly as you should, everything else will fall into place.
