I feel a lot of pressure to be superhuman. Just trying to keep up with coursework and research became a herculean task, and as a G1, I worry that my newly formed friend groups will fade away without the ease of proximity. I was almost constantly anxious or stressed, and what has helped is getting into meditation again. I practiced gratitude, and gradually, things looked up. It became less taxing to think about my food and money situation. I started exercising at home thirty minutes a day, actually finding myself to have more energy than before. My friend group began regular Zoom calls to check in and play games together. Classes are thankfully almost over. The sky is really blue today, and that’s nice too.
