1/22/22: Getting better
Today was actually a really good day. It was the first one I have had in a while. I had a swim meet and I did relatively well. I did not go great times, but my technique felt good which I have been struggling with. My coach said I did well which made me feel good. I have not been doing well ever since I got to college so it was nice to hear positive feedback from my coaches! I saw my parents and they were able to take me home for the weekend! I can say I am happily writing this while in my OWN bed. It made me so happy to see my dog after being away again after winter break. I am only home for 2 days but I am going to make the most of it! I am feeling more positive about the future so I hope things continue to go up!
-The struggling college freshman
Hello. I have read through your entries; it is interesting reliving that feeling of not fitting in from 20 years away. I had a very similar struggle when I started college. You have no reason to listen, but I would like to offer advice in the form of an alternate viewpoint when it would occur to me. I am maybe being rude, but I think these words are okay to say. (I am often wrong about what is okay.)
It gave me joy to end here on this high note. What a great, reaffirming day! I am happy with you. Peace to you.

Things will look up! Winter sucks and school is tough! But you will make it through 🙂 Before you  know it, it will be summer time and you will have finished another year of college. Such an accomplishment
and remember; its okay not to be okay!
