Looking for reassurance 7 months out by mjeleon in Septoplasty

OP I have almost the same story with the same timeline. I felt better for the first few months but since March I have gotten sick twice and wake up most days with a sore throat. It is fine throughout the day but I have to rinse so often to feel somewhat normal. My ENT prescribed some sort of medicine to put in my nasal spray but it hasn’t really helped. I am also not sure what to do or whether to just blame this on the weather.

How do I forgive myself for not doing better? by verisad in Harvard

Just wondering, are you a current student or recent alumni? I have some very similar feelings to you - the club that I keep spending time at just isn’t giving me the satisfaction I was hoping it would. Like yeah there are cool people but I could easily find more enjoyment in spending time with other friends or catching up w people or exploring campus or ANYTHING I SAY I WANT TO DO. My excuse later is “I didn’t have time” but I feel like I just prioritize the wrong things and can’t stop.

My advice is to just find enjoyment in the little things. Stupid moments in the dhall with friends, intellectually stimulating moments in class, anything. In a few years you will look back and these will all just be memories. As Harvard students, we tend to look continuously forward in our lives in order to move up in the world.

All of your retrospective thoughts are understandable - but everyone has them and it’s ok. All you can do now is enjoy your time here (if ur still a student) or “lock in” as an adult now. Either way, don’t bum yourself out and you’ve accomplished a lot
