As of today, I am pathetically losing the fight against myself, my assignments, and college. College has opened my mind to new thoughts and ideas mostly due to the exposure to different individuals, from all over the world who have different ideologies than I do. It has challenged my ability to achieve my goals while helping me discover my strengths and weaknesses. However, College at this point in time has been a rude awakening. I feel as if I am drowning in a sea of assignments, and I don’t know if I have the strength to push against the invincible current to swim to safety. My anxiety level is at its peak and as a result, I tend to stop working on all my assignments as a way to decrease it. This action then doubles my workload, which in turn doubles my anxiety. With a handful of assignments due next week, I am trying my best to stop this cycle, endure the anxiety and exhaustion, and complete the assignments given.
In terms of my research paper, I have chosen a new topic because I was no longer interested in censorship in America. My current research paper topic is on animal experimentation. I have a profound love for animals and I feel that because animals cannot express their feelings the way humans can, people automatically think they don’t have any. Which is why I believe animal experimentation and testing should be banned internationally, and there should have better laws that protect their rights.
I would love to hear your opinions about this topic and will appreciate any advice you may give on how I can condese this topic and make it a bit more interesting for my audience.
There is no getting around it: school is a challenge, and it's all to easy to succumb to fatigue and doubt and that feeling of "drowning in a sea of assignments." Thankfully, there are always breaks to work toward. It's just a matter of staying focused until they arrive, yes?
