Mental Health Journey Day 28

Currently listening to: Monster High Fright Song

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Again, a short entry. This week I will be so busy with my exam I take in eight days. I have made some good progress with my notes and my exercises so far. I feel super nervous. It's crazy! This will be a tough week. I hope I will make it. I really want to pass the exam.

Mental health:

Nothing new. I am just a little bit stressed. This time, the reason is university stress, not depression or anxiety-related stress.

But here is another thing:

I was thinking of doing a PhD after my exam because I love to dive into topics. Unfortunately, a few people have told me I might not be able to do it because it's stressful and difficult. Well, thank you, Mr. Obvious? I know it's hard to get a PhD title. But this is not something that stops me. I don't know how this works because I am the first person in my family who has been to a university lecture. Of course, this will be very difficult for me, because I didn't grow up in an academic household. But this is another thing that would not stop me.

Unlike some other workers' families, my parents are pretty supportive (even though my mother misses me a lot). They want me to do something I truly want. And studying physics is one thing I want to do. I am not sure about doing a PhD after my Master's. It's an idea, and when I have the opportunity, I will do it. Then why exactly shouldn't I take a chance?

I hate people who tell me I would never make it.

Shut up.

The only thing that could stop me is when I am sick (well, it doesn't stop me because I am already sick lol) or money.

I will make it.

I wonder if there are any other students. Good luck with your exams!
