To start I first have to say that all of my classes but two are online. With these online classes, it's self-paced, which last week I didn't think would be that bad. I was so wrong.

So it's Monday I plan out my week so that I have about two classes a day, both online and in person. I didn't think this was bad until about Friday when I found out I had already missed an assignment. That is when my panic first started. Am I going to get through this?

On top of school, I was also in the process of sorority recruitment. So with all of my panic about my assignments, I was behind on, the assignments I had due, and also being on zoom for long periods of time I was so burnt out and exhausted. That's when everything started falling apart.

I didn't want to bother anyone by asking for help but I needed it. I hadn't done something this chaotic since highschool. Not to mention I have no idea where my classes are and at this point, I had stayed in my dorm for at least 3 days in a row. Needless to say, the stress was piling up.

Then my saving grace came. My suitemates. They helped me buckle down and get to work. They stayed up with me and helped me finish all of my assignments and get them turned in. fast forward to Tuesday I got a planner and really buckled down to make a schedule. I did it. Moral of the story: be smart and don't lack on schoolwork.

So besides my class, I also mentioned that I went through sorority rush. Let me tell you, it was the best thing I have ever done. Yes, it was unconventional because it was all on zoom, but I am certain that I still found my forever home.

When I first started the process I was meh about it. I wasn't sure if I was going to fit in anywhere. As I visited with each house and talked to the members I knew which one I belonged to. That story is for another time, but I couldn't be happier that I stepped out of my comfort zone and it turned out in the best way possible.
