I didn't realize how split my personalities were until I got free rein of my life going into college. I don't think it's necessarily a bad thing. In fact, for the most part, it tends to keep me in check.

I go from having seemingly huge revelations about some aspect of life, to eventually returning to my college-esque mindset of focusing on the closed bubble 'me' items, like a single exam grade or blowing $50 on one night out (@ every overpriced bar in Ann Arbor).

If you're an individual who has some version of these personality alterations, cheers to the arguments within your own head that you can never seem to win.

1a. I'd rather be traveling than spending another ____ years in an institution learning how to learn

1b. I'm lucky to be able to attend such a great university and should cherish it while I can

2a. I'm going to delete my social media, it does nothing good for me

2b. *Tweaks when I do something exciting because I want other people to know about it*

3a. I should really not buy this $2.50 bag of chips if I'm already buying a $3 pack of pretzels

3b. Oh sh*t!!! Roundtrip flights this weekend to ____ are only $140 there's no way I'm passing this up

4a. I need to chill on how much I stress for a single exam grade

4b. *Pulls 3 all nighters leading up to test regardless, cries multiple times per hour studying, forgets eating is a thing, doesn't speak for days, starts looking into jobs you don't need a degree for, cries a few more times*

5a. My complaints are the epitome of first world problems and I need to stop

5b. Meanwhile I have a casual panic attack when my Amazon prime order isn't at my door in 2 days on the dot

6a. If I stopped procrastinating every assignment, even for ONE class, I wouldn't constantly be 19 years behind

6b. That exam made my heart sad, I need at least a week to recover before I look at the material for that class

7a. I'm not doing enough good for the world outside of my immediate reach

7b. Where do I even start

8a. The climate of our country makes me sick and I am going to find a way to make a positive impact and have my voice heard

8b. I find myself resorting to sharing sad Facebook videos (after many tears are shed) and doing little beyond surface level social media platforms
