#67 My University Experience | Conquering Anxiety, Coping with Perfectionism & Discovering My Academic Identity


Listen Later

With my undergraduate degree officially coming to an end, join me as I reflect on my transformative journey at University - the highs, lows, and everything in between

In this episode, I discuss the chronological journey - from the numerous mental health wobbles, studying during a pandemic, unforeseen personal challenges, as well as the valuable lessons I learned in coping with academic anxiety.

But it’s not all about the struggles.

I also delve into my personal growth as I went from feeling isolated and withdrawn to finally finding a sense of belonging - making all the difference in my university experience.

Moreover, I share how I actively sought out opportunities to expand my knowledge, gain unique experiences, and challenge myself to try and stand out from the crowd.

And in closing, I touch upon my future academic plans, relationships, as well as the priority of focusing on your psychological well-being despite the inherent pressures that come with pursuing a degree.
