Is it normal to feel completely overwhelmed by the pressure to succeed in college? It feels like there’s always this weight on my shoulders to do well academically, socially, and even professionally. Sometimes, I just wish it would all slow down for a bit. Anyone else feeling like this?

Yes, it’s very common. College can feel like a constant pressure cooker. Remember to take breaks, talk to others, and give yourself grace when it feels too much.
