It’s the final year. Counting down to the moment of entering the ‘real world’ I realize what a toll these past four years has had on me. Toll in a good way and in a bad… I am less naive, more thoughtful, less thick skinned, more easily affected by emotions around me, less hyperactive, more subdued…
In a way, things seem a bit more troublesome in that, my inner introvert is speaking up louder and after lively interactions with humans, I shrink even further into my mind.
On the bright side, my interactions with the outside world has increased in number (ironically…) and I come off as much more of an adult than my 1st year counterpart.

The not fun part about these changes is my seemingly drastic increase in emotional sensitivity- whether it be words or actions, I catch myself reading more into it than I should be, especially when it comes to negative interactions with friends.
Which is not fun, when we are all going through rough times in our final year and everyone tends to lash out on occasion due to the unbelievable stress…
SO, I have decided to make an upgrade to my psyche. This upgrade, I so fittingly named as, the ‘Whatever Mode’. It is a switch installed right next to my brains emotion center, that I can flick on and off when desired to withstand the lashing out of my closest colleagues.
Of course, I do understand the pressure we are all under, which is all the more reason to protect my own emotional health.
Cheers to making it through to, hopefully, saner times!
