I feel pretty confident in saying that in some point in everyone's college career they will hit a moment where they doubt themselves. All of my friends have had it happen to them in one form or another, and I’ve had it happen to myself, this week in fact.

I should probably preface this story by saying that I want to go into sports journalism of some sort, either as a writer or a broadcast reporter, I haven’t decided yet. But I began to wonder, what if I turn 30 and I’m stuck in Cedar Rapids, Iowa reporting on high school football or a local bowler who had a perfect round?

What if I never make to cover a professional college team or if I was stuck in a small town forever? Will I just bail and become a teacher? Or would I try and go to law school and just start from scratch? Or should I just keep going and hope that one day I catch a break?

All those thoughts ran though my head as I was trying to work on a 12-page final paper, and needless to say, it was a bit distracting.

Honestly, I don’t know what it was that helped me power through it. So if you’re reading this article looking for a how to on how to get past doubting yourself, I’m sorry but you’re going to be disappointed.

I talked to some friends with similar majors to discuss what I was going through and most of them didn’t really have any advice either. They all knew exactly what I was describing, but no one had any idea on how to fix it. Which in a weird way, comforted me.

It didn’t take away any of my doubt, but I felt a little bit better that I wasn’t the only one who had ever felt this way. I know it's silly to think that no one has ever doubted themselves, because as I said earlier, we all have. But when you’re in that moment, you feel alone.

So no, I don’t really know what flipped the switch in my head and helped me keep working, but I’ll say for a fact that what works for me, probably might not work for you. And that’s because self-doubt is so personal.

No one is going to experience self-doubt in the same way. Everyone is going to be different. For me, it was all about my professional career, but for other people it could be related to their dating life or involved their friends and/or family.

And that’s why it’s so tough to get help, because there are millions of ways that you can doubt yourself, and each one requires a specific way to feel better. So while I can’t really offer any advice on how to make yourself feel better, because no one really can, it’s important to know that someone has felt something similar to you. And ultimately, you are more than good enough, so don't let a little self doubt get in the way of believing in yourself.
