End Of Semester Is Here

The end of the semester is now coming, and I can’t be more excited. This semester was a major struggle for me mentally and physically. This semester was also my first full season of college football, so that played a big role in my struggles this semester. Balancing sports and schoolwork are super challenging, and I now see how hard it is for all student-athletes in college to maintain a good GPA and juggle sports at the same time. I don’t know what it is with me, but when stuff got hard throughout this semester I tended to get discouraged and shut down mentally, which isn’t the best idea while in college. I’ve also tried going to see our school’s guidance counselor, but I haven’t been able to open to some stranger yet. I know that’s their job to guide us through our struggles, but I just don’t have the pride to talk about some of my personal issues just yet. 

I’ve talked with my mom this semester about my personal struggles throughout college and she strongly suggested I

start seeking the help I need; next semester I will be making weekly visits to go see our consolers to help me get through these issues I face. I dropped a class this semester too as well but will still be on track to graduate on time. To sum it up, this year was a major struggle for me because I had issues finding myself and finding my happiness. I never used to be this way and ever since college started, I’ve been having these types of issues become reoccurring. My goal has been to get a degree in college ever since I was a little kid and I don’t want to give up on that dream, but for me to reach that goal, I have it start with making sure I get myself together and staying motivated. Well, that’s the end of this blog, I hope everyone has a great week and knocks their finals out of the ballpark. Go Bears!
