Someone Out There?

Well, I'm outside of your age range and not a college student (or ever have been), so I don't meet your requirements, but I can wish you good luck looking for a good friend.

I do have a crush on you, though, even if I'm a couple years above your age limit, so I'd still happily PM with you any time and be your friend.

I won't take up a PM space, though, unless you really want to PM me.
Gotta leave it open for the types you are actively pursuing.

Good luck with your search. :kiss::heart:
 
Sigh, outside your age range (WAY outside), but have 2 degrees, licensed therapist. Best of luck with both your search & school plans!!
 
I empathise with how you've been feeling about your studies. I remember when I was an undergraduate student that I pushed myself very hard, because I wanted to have very high marks and do well at university. In fact, I worked so much that I made myself quite ill for a short period during my final year, which taught me never to go to such extremes again.

The anxiety of meeting deadlines, waiting for marks, and just trying to get everything done within the time frame to a high standard can be very tough. I got through it thanks to family support, and having good friends who also wanted to do well at university. As a result, we were all able to help each other along. I hope that this is the same for you.

The most important piece of advice I give to anyone is not to put too much pressure on themselves and to remember that you are not obliged to live up to the expectations of others. In addition to being an undergraduate, I've also taught them, so I see things from both sides of the fence. Remember, you're doing your degree for you, so set yourself realistic and attainable goals. If you know you're doing the best you can, and that to do any more would serve to jeopardise your health, and as a consequence, your academic future and career, then you are doing more than enough. Finding the right balance between studying and relaxation is difficult, but having a written or mental timetable and the aforementioned realistic goals can help.

To finish, I congratulate you on posting a decent personals advert, and I really hope that you find someone who is in the right age range for you and with whom you connect. You deserve it :).
