#or to overwork myself trying to prove myself bc I don’t feel like I belong in academic institutions
Text
I turned 24 yesterday and I think this is the first time I’ve been excited to be older rather than terrified of it
#coming home and taking my time in grad school without pressuring myself to finish as soon as possible#has been so healing! I didn’t realize how much pressure I felt to succeed in undergrad / community college#and right now it feels like I’m where I’m supposed to be#I have a paid internship lined up for the summer and I really like working on the youth rights blog#it feels like I’m accomplishing a lot of what I wanted as a kid and it’s really rewarding#but I’m also not pressuring myself or defining myself by those accomplishments#I feel like not going to school in person also takes the away the pressure to fit in to academia#or to overwork myself trying to prove myself bc I don’t feel like I belong in academic institutions#personal
