I totally get how you feel because it’s how I felt as college came to an end. I didn’t know exactly what the next step would be. I knew what I wanted, a job, but I wasn’t sure if it’d happen. So very normal to feel that way though, and you’d be odd if you didn’t.

I try not to set my standards too high. Luckily, I know what I’m capable of, so I’m able to set my standards just a notch higher than that.

You’re so close to the end! It’s understandable that you’re lost. I’ll be in school for another six years, probably (I have yet to obtain my Associate’s Degree), so I have a ways to go. I love reading about how far you’ve come, though, because it reminds me that I can get there, too.

i know exactly what you mean. both about starting posts that way (why do our minds go there first?), and about getting to the finish line. all i can say is that i’m learning that there’s always something else out there. you never really reach “the end.” it’s both frustrating and comforting.

“I just have to get through this and then I’ll settle down.”

That is so my promise to myself. Actually, it has been my promise more than once. I’m working on not believing it. Baby steps; baby steps.

I think I used to feel that way. I tend to feel that way when an ending is coming (the end of school, the end of a job, etc). But remember, it always works itself out!

I often get teased by family and close friends for having some sort of (what they perceive as) a “Master To-Do” list by which I define my life, priorities and always “something else to do.” I end up missing a lot of the now. It’s a daily struggle to just sit back and enjoy what is…

I often think I feel motivated, and then I look at my life and I see how utterly lazy I am and how I’ve pretty much done nothing. I’m always thinking, “once *insert something* happens, my life will really begin”. But all the while I forget that life already is, and I’m wasting it.

I feel this way A LOT too. I just remind myself that life is a journey and not a destination!!

I also set ridiculously high standards for myself. All that leads me to is a sense of failure. Be patient with yourself :)

I feel the same way right now. I’m close to graduation and actually having to take the next step in finding a job. All my life I’ve been in school and now I’m almost done. Weird is about the only way to describe it.

ha, your related post “I’m Feeling Weird” starts the exact same way as this one.

..and my life will revolve around school for the rest of my life too.
