[...] it’s amazing the difference one day can make. On Tuesday, I was freaking out. By Wednesday afternoon, I was skipping around campus. I said that it was my applications that were [...]

If you’re still freaking out, I can join in and freak out about something. Or, if you want — even though you don’t necessarily strike me as someone would do so (or maybe not???) — you can take your mind off of the freak-out by participating in a fun, creative writing-related meme I am perpetuating by having tagged you. Visit my blog for more information.

Amen, sister.

Whenever I think I’m finally free, at least five more things pop up for me to be stressed out about right now. I just keep telling myself, it’s almost Christmas..

I’ll join the freak out bandwagon–there are no interesting jobs in Austin, I missed the LSAT signup date to apply to law school by one week, so that’s being put off another year, I really just want to travel, and if I do get a job, that won’t be an option anymore.

By your tweets, you sound like you’re handling this all well, Kahea! Actually, I’m handling it pretty well myself, but I feel like I’m always pretending to be calm, so it’s nice to vent here and admit how freaked out I am.

I have so many task lists. Managing them has become a full time job. ;) Get some sleep when you can. Maybe on the train! That might be dangerous.

Exercise has fallen by the wayside for me, and that was a total mistake, because it makes me sleep better and gives me more energy. Thanks for checking out my blog, Marissa.

Ahhhhh! You’ll be done Thursday. You can do it.

I can’t think of a bigger waste of energy than freaking out about not freaking out, but I’m doing it to. This is so ridiculous.

Ha ha. I know, I talk about how people always think I’m perfectly put together, and I hate that, but I’m the one always trying to keep up the charade! And, I got my laundry done today, so that’s one thing. ;)

Thanks Elle. I know you’re right.

after an entire semester of absolute melt-down, my stress level has finally, FINALLY come down. i wish i had some words of wisdom, or something else constructive to offer you, but all i can say is: you’re not alone, we all get it, vent if you need to.

and take deep breaths. it’ll be over soon!

I’m stressed out too! And super tired. Blah.

You’ll be fine! Get your applications done and then you can relax. Make a task list and proritize!

I will definitely freak out with you! In fact, I’m the biggest stress-case there is, so I relate so very well. That’s why I have to take yoga…and, in fact, that’s where I’m headed now! :-)

I’m still stressed that I’m not stressed enough. I’m crazy.

Man, I wish I could still think that I could be perfect. Unfortunately, I’m too much of a mess to think that I could be perfect without committing myself to the insane asylum for good.

I am completely overwhelmed with year end stufff for work that has to be done before we leave for holiday break. I have a final due tonight that’s not getting done and a final tomorrow that I haven’t opened the book for, and I can’t make myself care about them. So I guess I’m freaking out about how I’m not freaking out about these things.

Perfect is so entirely boring…. BUT I WANT TO BE ENTIRELY BORING!! I can imagine how you feel. I am freaking out with you- looking at myself naked in the mirror after the gym today and wishing I had my wedding dress body already. Looking at the stupid short story I promised myself I’d write and wished I’d written it already. Looking at the laundry piled up in the corner (it’s the small things, really).
But I try to remember what a good friend often tells me: arriving is not the point. it’s all the stuff that you do prior to arriving that is real life. Anyway, I’m feeling your freak out!

Awwww – deep breaths. You’ll get through this! Honestly. And *no* one is perfect – we’re human after all – but I’m sure you’ll be perfectly awesome and get everything done to the best of your ability. One step at a time – baby steps – and you’ll do it all. Okay? :0)
