Hey folks, I am losing it here. Everyone is packing up for the break, posting photos of beaches and road trips — meanwhile I am holed up in the library, staring at a pile of admission essays I still have to finish before I can breathe. My brain feels wrung out: group projects, exams, extra hours at my campus job… now these papers are the last straw. It feels so unfair seeing others celebrate while I am still drowning. I have rewritten one prompt five times and it still looks flat. I hate feeling like I am failing before I have even started my career. How do you push through the final stretch when the clock keeps you wide-awake at night? Any lifelines, really — I do not want to spend summer in make-up mode.
