Little Ms. Perfect?

It feels as if I’ve forgotten how to breathe. My head is just about this close to exploding and I’m slowly losing it. I know that college will only get harder, but 16 units of all upper division courses, work, and everything else I have to deal with is driving me insane. I am not doing my absolute best this quarter and I’m not going to lie, it makes me feel pretty much like crap. I’ve been sucked into academics and perfecting everything that I’m pushing myself too hard. The thing is though, when I take a look back at my 3.60+ GPA’s for fall and winter quarter, I tell myself that I just need to hang in there, that I could do this. But… it’s becoming exhausting. I don’t know how much longer I could spend almost every hour of my day at either school, work, or in my room studying. Never have I felt such an urge to constantly turn in perfect papers, assignments, and exams. All I want are those A’s. Nothing else. This is not me and it’s beginning to scare me. I need a break…right now. I, Little Ms. Perfect, need to relax before I hit rock bottom from trying so hard to full fill everything I do.
