How does one know when they’re way too involved? It could be the lack of sleep, lack of appetite and absolute lack of any free time to do something just because you want to. If you’re feeling overwhelmed and like you’re drowning, you may need to learn to take some time for yourself every once in a while. Here are 10 signs that may mean you need to slow down sometimes.

1. You have no more time for fun.

What even is a night out? Your schedule certainly doesn't allow for it.


2. You start to realize you need more than 24 hours in a day.


3. The realization comes that getting eight hours of sleep is impossible...so you've befriended coffee.


4. You are very over your schoolwork.


5. People hardly ever see you for more than five minutes because you are always in a rush and on the go.


6. Your parents are getting worried about your well-being.


7. There is very rarely time in the day for you to go through social media.

So you are that person liking pictures and tweets days later when you finally get a free minute. It is a beautiful reunion between you are your Instagram.


8. Your planner is a rainbow of coded events, assignments and meetings.


9. People have to schedule time with you weeks in advance if they want to spend time with you


10. You make to-do lists like it is your job, and not to anyone's surprise, there is no time for relaxing on that list

I remember my freshman year oh so well. I remember feeling terrified the night before orientation. The one thing that I dreaded the most was not the new people, the new environment, or even the academic pressure. I was dreading having to talk to sorority girls about Recruitment. I remember cutting off and avoiding any Rho Gamma/Panhellenic Officer that came my way during First Week. I looked at them like they had asked me to cut my arm off whenever they asked me if I wanted to rush. To be honest, I did not even know what rush was, but I knew that I did NOT want to be a part of it. To me, it was dumb. It was a waste of money. It was a waste of my time.

And guess what? I did not rush my freshman year. I spent the first half of my freshman year isolating myself from everyone on campus. I spent all of my time in the library, and then (since I was a commuter) went back home once my work was finished.

Tiana would no doubt be disappointed in the food our cafeteria has to offer.

And hopefully she would cook for everyone in her dorm.
