    University should break you to a certain degree, but it shouldn’t shatter you or destroy you. It’s like training for a marathon, if you just do sprints to failure every day you won’t ever run a marathon you’ll just get hurt. No you’ve got to slowly ramp up and take your rest days.

    Maybe there was a group therapy and the exercise was writing the monologue they wake up to down…? Then they of course reflected together why those were not useful messages and they learnt better ways to address their worries. (Let me dream).

    My ancestors are proud of me, because I know how to spell “disappointment”, and have never written a misspelled word in black marker whilst trying to condescend to people I should be supporting.

    I was academically dismissed from college four time and have a university studies degree and a 2.0 GPA. I now have a 6 figure salary. You degree is only a peace of paper, don’t sacrifice your heath for a peace of paper.

      As a counterpoint, your salary is mainly a reflection on how much profit can be made by your skillset/location at a given point in time. I’m not a fan of tying people’s worth to their profitability. It’s devoid of any type of ethical concern.

      If we as a society tie profitability to societal good, then I’ll be on board.

        I am right there with you, and went through a lot to get to this point. Also my salary is more a supply vs demand issue, I am a cost to companies but they need me.

    Not tough enough for a true wakeup call. Wipe it all off, and replace with:

    • Your friends think you’re stupid!
    • All the other kids are staring at you!
    • Mommy and Daddy fight because of something you did!
    • You walk funny!

    A business major wrote that. Their dream career is either a Crypto Life Coach, or a LinkedIn Recruiter.

      Crypto Life Coaches ought to be more chill. Dollar cost averaging beats most active strategies and you get to sleep in.
