The Struggle of Being a Perfectionist in College (5)

Being told to “calm down,” “relax,” or “shut up, you still did better than me”

Biggest pet peeve right there. If you think I’m freaking out now, just watch how much I really start to freak out when you tell me to relax. And I know you’re okay with your B+ on the paper you wrote for an hour before class, but I am in no way okay with my A- that I spent a week outlining. I promise, comparing our scores won’t make me feel better.

Not being able to sleep because your mind is consumed with all of the things that need to get done tomorrow

The main reason for my insomnia and late hours every night is because my mind cannot turn off at night thinking of all of the things I have to get accomplished tomorrow. In the end it makes no sense seeing as I’m just miserable and exhausted the next day, but I can’t help it!
