definition of Xavier University: STRESSFUL

Hello again,

I have always been at the top of my class. I have always been the over achiever. Maybe these two elements of me is the reason why I am so stressed out over school. Basically, I feel like I am on the verge of a breakdown because I realize that college is definitely no joke. Today, I was about to drop a class because I am literally burned out from all of this work. But, after having a long conversation with my professor, she talked with me and made me realize that sometimes it is okay to fall, just as long as you get back up. I am not in any real danger that I could not fix or bounce back from. I am just stressed out because I want to maintain my GPA that I am totally satisfied with. I now realize that Xavier is here to really help you, so everyone should use them as an aid. College is not like high school. It is definitely not easy to stay on the “honor roll” as people can so easily achieve in high school. But, I guess stress comes with that “over achiever” status in order to get the grade that you truly desire!
