This year, however, I find myself troubled by the annual pressure to constantly level up in every aspect of life. As college students, it almost seems like going to class and getting a degree is the bare minimum. Outside of class, there’s a pressure to gain professional experience as quickly as possible. It’s frustrating to feel the need to balance all of these aspects of life flawlessly. Even knowing this, I still abandon logic and feel inadequate whenever I have a shortcoming in one area of life or another.
