the bad parts of college

I think people often glamorize the idea of college but they don’t ever show the bad parts of being in college.

I have gone through a lot trying to be a student and a person. I often forget to take care of myself and put myself through more stress than I should.

I want to embrace being vulnerable and embrace showing the bad and the ugly!

my biggest tip is just put yourself first. that’s something i’m still learning and improving on each day!
