You’re a straight A student, modest, insightful, and self-aware. None of these things is “average” so I would object to you characterizing yourself that way! As others have said, it’s extremely normal and natural to feel the feelings you have. I am posting to add one more observation: College Confidential is social media, so it’s subject to all the distortions of Instagram and the like. I’m not saying we’re all a bunch of liars (and yes there are kids who seem to “do it all”), but everyone is presenting a curated view of themselves or their children. Perhaps not with the intent to deceive (those posts exist, though), but beware of unwarranted FOMO. I hope you climb out of the slumpy feeling…and please lean on loved ones, a therapist, or even an anonymous helpline if you need a hand.
