You are your accomplishments. Great mantra if you're accomplishing things, but what if you're not?
As it gets closer to the end of the semester, I'm wondering what I've accomplished this semester. I find myself grabbing at straws when it comes to listing what I've done this semester that I should pat myself on the back for doing.
My semester has consisted of keeping my head above water academically and making last-ditch efforts to form a living and learning community on my floor of freshmen residents. I feel as though I'm in a constant S.O.S. situation.
I haven't made any strides in regard to my career. Nothing has been published, not even in the Globe, Point Park University's newspaper. I have no clue where to intern or what I should be interning for.
Personal accomplishments and met goals are lacking as well. I haven't consistently gone to the gym or lost any weight. The only consistent thing I've been doing is eating poorly, barely sleeping, and struggling. I haven't finished any books for pleasure or work on any collages (yes, I like to collage).
My lack of accomplishments academically and personally have left me feeling as though I don't have an identity because I don't have associate my identity with my accomplishments. I need a change in self-perception as well as a new mantra.
