What the Hell Am I Doing?

What the hell am I doing?

 

 

[Nodding of head]







At least once, if not 10,000 times, in your life you will ask yourself “What the hell am I doing?” Most times this query will come about because you have realized that you are acting on a poor decision or you have agreed to do some favor for someone that turns out to be a rousing blast of boredom. But sometimes this query pops up because you feel overwhelmed, as if you have bitten off more than you can chew. For instance, many of your professors spent the holiday weekend grading a massive mound of papers, and I can assure you that when they realized their friends and families were enjoying themselves with wild abandon that those professors were bent over computers and papers asking themselves “what the hell am I doing?”

You, on the other hand, might have been one of those in the middle of a wild abandon frenzy when you suddenly realized that your final exams and portfolios were sneaking up on you...you know where I am going with this.

The person who slipped us this question did so after being told what college would be like, so we are assuming that he or she was hit with an overwhelming sensation that college would be hard and difficult to manage. And most of you are probably thinking that right about now because you are facing the time of finals and exams. But if you think back to a week or so ago you will remember that all the seemed manageable, that you had gotten used to the rigors of college, that were feeling quite capable.

This feeling of being overwhelmed will come and go throughout your college career. It will most likely hit you at the beginning and end of each semester. Know it is coming and be prepared to calm yourself and stay rational. You have already proven that you are capable college students because you are still here.

So, when you ask yourself this question at 3 am while playing Xbox, after realizing you have a math test at 8 am, you may want to realize you are making a bad choice and need to stop making a bad choice. But when you ask yourself this question during finals week because you are feeling overwhelmed you may want to pull a George Lopez:
