Battling My Inner Doubt: The Night I Almost Gave Up on College
Last night, in my cramped apartment, I stared at my unfinished college application, heart pounding. I know I should do this—get my degree, change my life—but my mind kept screaming, "You can't!" I felt trapped, angry at myself for not believing, yet desperate to break free. My hands shook as I listed every reason I should go: better jobs, new friends, a chance to prove myself. But the doubts hit harder: Am I smart enough? What if I fail? I almost tore up the application.
Frustrated, I called my best friend. She reminded me of my strengths—my persistence, my curiosity, my past wins. We brainstormed ways to tackle my fears, like researching alumni stories and breaking the process into tiny steps. Now, I want to hear from you: How do you push through when your own mind is the enemy? Let’s swap battle stories! 😱🔥🤯
