Feeling really burnt out due to college. I am on the honors society and phi theta kappa really wants me to join them but I'm so afraid that I won't be able to live up to their standards because I am feeling so burnt out and what's worse is that I am only taking two classes this semester. Any advice?

JFSurvior,


Listen to your body. What good will it do you to give when you are already empty? So what if they want you to join. Looks like you already have doubt about joining because if you didnt, you would not have come to ask advice. What if someone here told you to join and that all would work itself out and you followed their advice but going into it you already knew that you were going against your conscience? More than likely you would stay the course just to save face because you didn't want the back lash from dropping out. You can avoid all of the embarrassment by not joining because it seems that your heart isn't in it.

You shouldn't stress yourself out. If you don't think you could handle being in a sorority on top of other responsibilities, it might be best to avoid it. I had enough to deal with in 2-3 courses, so I never bothered with any of the frats. Just don't feel like you are under obligation to participate in everything. I also agree with what Remember said. Join because you want to, not because they asked. :eek:

Awesome! I would like to share some lights unto this. Don't take more than what you don't think you can handle. As soon as you join, be prepared to go all the way.

Remember that I believe you can do it. Matter of fact, I think you can do more than you think you can. Lets ask some basic questions about your life. Is college really the reason your burnt out? Or is there really something else that is taking up time in your life that you aren't sharing.

I heard many times by students, including myself, how college can be stressful and take up so much time. And it's true. But what I come to realize is that, it wasn't just college, it was also me. Just last year, I've took on full school hours, and wanted to do more than usually. It was because I've learned something important, time management. And doing things for me, not for any one else. Because I know the Lord wants me to do my best, and to reap the rewards of my labor.
