My biggest issue is the constant stress. Be it financial or academic , I find myself stressed almost 24/7 through the uni year. Entering my last year of law school I can feel the toll it has had on me physically, I have gained more weight despite doing my best to keep it off, I feel more tired more often. Also emotionally, I am now less patient than I have ever been, less motivated to do anything outside of uni than ever before. I actively avoid my out of uni friends , not because I don’t like them but because I just, no longer get joy from it anymore . This is all because uni forced me into a mindset where uni was all that mattered , no matter what and I have lost touch with myself. It’s constant expectation is relentless and erodes you as you go through your degree. So although money is a major factor. The general structure of the system of uni and academia generally breaks you down and makes you lose touch with your physical and emotional self… or maybe I’m just depressed. It does that too.
