I often find myself feeling like there isn't enough time in a day. I am always in a constant rush. 24 hours is not enough for me to get everything done. I don't know if this is all due to the fact that I am surrounded by the fast-paced New York City life all the time, or if I am taking on more than I can manage.
My friends constantly tell me I can handle anything that comes my way. They are left in awe when I tell them how many clubs and organizations I belong to, deeming me the "Club Queen." I appreciate it all, but I am terribly afraid of burning out. What is going to happen when I reach my limit?
I sacrifice time with my family to keep up with all of the tasks I have to get done, and that is what bothers me the most. I get home at almost 9 p.m. every night, barely having enough time for myself. I often have to remind myself that I am human, and I don't want to fall under the term "workaholic."
I am only 19. You probably think I'm crazy for saying all of these things. I feel that regardless of how old you are, there will come a point where you will have trouble balancing. In the end of all this, I hope that my work will be valued and that I can set an example for others to follow. I will always live up to my responsibilities.
