Junior year of college is a different level of stress. Freshman and sophomore year both had their fair share of stress, but something is different this year. The pressure of our future is getting near and panic mode may soon set in.

We have to balance school work like usual, but this year it's even more intense. We are taking more advanced courses with higher expectations.

We have to build our resumes because we're told we won't get a job unless we have an impressive resume.

We worry about our GPA because will our future employers realize that although we may have gotten a C in one of our gen-ed courses, that the class wasn't relevant to our major? Will they consider those type of things?

How many internships are we suppose to get? How will we even get one alone?

We also have to worry about the debt we are currently drowning in. We have to start paying our loans off within the next few years. Will we even have a regular income by then?

Oh and finals! We still have to worry about exams and homework because grades go on our transcripts which give us our GPAs which then goes on our resumes which is then overlooked by potential employers.

Freeze. Pause. Take a deep breath.

We can very easily get overwhelmed with life. College is hard, especially when you have to balance every other aspect of your life with it.

Although it is extremely overwhelming at times, we have less than two years left in our undergraduate experience.

Time has truly flown by and we need to take a step back and slow down.

Manage your time wisely, enjoy your time left, and let life play out. Hopefully, all will be well in the end.

Good luck. Here's to junior year!
