There are many things in college that are going well thus far. One of the things is my activity outside of class. I’m involved in intramural football and basketball, and Cru. Outside of those activities, I like to weightlift to keep myself conditioned for football, basketball, and life in general. Another thing that’s going well is my fresh start. I’ve made a lot of friends during welcome week, intramurals, and Cru. I’ve been having a good time distinguishing between who is a real friend and whom I shouldn’t be around.
There are a lot of bad things however. I have a lot of issues balancing my fun and school. I keep a small circle so I’m limiting who I can build trust with. I have trust issues so it takes a lot to earn my trust. I come from a town with a lot of fake friends. So I’m very paranoid that people are going to switch up on me. Another thing that I struggle with is going to class on a consistent basis. I get so consumed by negative things in life like not being able to become a manager for the men’s basketball team, paranoia, trauma from my hometown, my room situation, and making time for myself. With all that’s going on, it’s hard to be consistent by staying on top of things and building good habits. But, I’m trying to combat these issues one day at a time. I’m seeing a couple people (i.e. a dean, tutor, and an academic success coach weekly, and a counselor biweekly). At the end of the day, it’s always good to think about the good and not the bad.
