Over and Underworking

Swear it's always like this, I have a huge problem with overworking myself- though after I've gone through a phase of doing that, I can't bring myself to continue at that pace for weeks [or progress at all . . . ]

I'll surely drag myself out of this strange rut I'm in and land back in an overworking phase, but for now I'm stuck under-working. I should be thankful that my work is creative and I don't have to go through the trouble of taking or studying for exams- but the amount of coursework is incredibly stressful. 
It's not too clear to me whether my mental state is better or worse when I'm being too productive- but at least I actually get things done as opposed to just .. nothing. 

It's kinda sh*tty because I've been trying to build myself up to finally graduating and being able to go immediately into the work that I want for years. I really gave it my all to actually get into Uni, but now I'm reaching the end of my course and things are way more 'real' . . . there is seriously no drive in me at all. 

Well, I'll see how it goes.

I really feel the bit about having no drive. It's like running your way through a marathon only to end up crawling towards the finish line. Booooooooo

god i feel this ,, i had a talk with a professor and he told me that it's impossible to excel at everything. like it's extremely stressful to try and get perfect grades in every course and way too much pressure. nd he also told me that it's ok to rly prioritise your courses like what are the ones you actually care about? meaning they really do interest you and you're passionate about them bc they're fun - those are the ones you should be putting most of your work in. and it's completely okay if all the other stuff is not perfect but simply acceptable. don't forget to take time for yourself and balance ur work so u don't get burnt out !! and it's ok to be in a slump and get nothing done. you're human pls don't beat urself up about it!
