FOMO is my biggest enemy.

You are probably wondering what is FOMO?

FOMO stands for Fear Of Missing Out and if you're in college you know this feeling all too well.

Fear of missing out can be mild or severe depending on the situation, what's being done, and who is involved.

Example: Meghan you need to come out with us tonight it is literally going to be so lit.

Ok well, I have like 40 papers to write, 300 pages in this textbook to read, and 5 exams to take all by tomorrow but literally if I see them out on their snap chat story and I am not out there with them, I'm going to hate myself.

So there are two ways that you can deal with FOMO.

You can either be like me and be an OCD planner and have everything done and figured out before the event so you know your responsibilities are taken care of before you agree to going out and doing things with your friends so you don't have to say no.

Or you have to be an adult and actually just say no. Sometimes the peer pressure is even more severe in college rather than in high school but I promise you, saying no isn't going to kill you.

There are going to be more parties.

There are going to be more best friend ice cream dates.

There are going to be more football games.

And most importantly, you are going to survive and overcome your personal FOMO.

Never put yourself in a position where you're neglecting your responsibilities and commitments just because you are scared you're going to miss out on a night with your friends.

We have all experienced this before and we have all overcame the fear of missing out.

Just always remember that your responsibilities are what carry you over to being a successful college student and they will lead you to being a successful professional after college as well.

As hard as it may be. don't sub come to FOMO! You will survive, I promise you.
