Anxiety for me means feeling overwhelmed by even the smallest tasks. I get easily distracted and feel a bit of panic, especially when I have a lot on my plate.
I used to think therapy was just talking about feelings, but it’s also about learning practical skills. My therapist has taught me coping mechanisms that I use daily.
Creating a study buddy system is helpful. Not only do you make friends, but you also get to help each other academically, which builds a solid foundation for friendship.
I think respecting each other’s growth and changes is essential. People grow, and good friends support each other through those changes instead of expecting everything to stay the same.
I used to justify my friend’s negative behavior, thinking it was just their personality. But when I noticed the emotional toll it took on me, I realized I had to walk away for my own happiness.
I find strength in surrounding myself with people who uplift and support me. Peer pressure is easier to manage when you’re with friends who accept you as you are.

Whenever I feel down about my body, I try to focus on the positive aspects, like my health or talents. Shifting my attention helps me build a better relationship with myself.
I used to feel bad about myself whenever I saw perfect bodies online. Then I realized that these images are often edited. Now, I focus on accounts that promote self-love, which helps me feel better about my own body.
One of the hardest things for me was balancing different friendships and not letting jealousy cause conflict. I realized that it’s okay for friends to have other friends, and being secure in your friendship is key to avoiding unnecessary arguments.
One thing that helped me build confidence was learning to celebrate my uniqueness. I used to feel pressured to conform to others’ expectations, but I’ve realized that what makes me different is what makes me special. Embracing that has made me feel more confident.
Using bullet points in my resume helped me keep it organized and easy to read. For my cover letter, I focus on how I’ve solved problems or achieved results in the past, which shows employers that I can bring value to their team.
I’ve always loved tutoring, so I started offering tutoring sessions in math and science to younger students. It’s been a great way to make extra money, and I feel good helping others. I’m even thinking about creating online courses to reach more students.
Social media can be fun, but it’s also exhausting when you feel like you have to live up to certain standards. Whether it’s appearance, success, or lifestyle, it’s hard to keep up. How do you manage the pressure to conform to what you see online?
I used to be really insecure about my abilities, especially in sports. I didn’t think I was good enough to compete. But I’ve learned to focus on improving myself, instead of worrying about what others think. How do you push through when you feel inadequate?
