A Love-Hate Relationship with Berkeley?

Whenever I feel like I’m busy (or rather extra busy, because let’s face it – I’m a Berkeley student), sometimes I feel like overwhelmed with what’s expected of me and what I expect from myself. Do you have any tips to avoid this overwhelming feeling or how to stay motivated to what you’re doing and love?

Ahhhh, I have such a love-hate relationship with Berkeley sometimes. It feels great to be here, the majority of the time – except when you’re drowning in midterms, papers, jobs, internships, research, and if you’re lucky, a social life. So if you can’t tell, I definitely know where you’re coming from. I think for me, the biggest factor that keeps me going when I feel like I literally can’t, is thinking about that little thing called the “future”. Thinking about what I’m learning right now and where it’ll take me – the possibilities and the opportunities – gets really…excited about the work I’m doing and learning. I also depend on friends to be my break from reality – I probably, no definitely, wouldn’t survive if I didn’t take a break to hang out and just enjoy relaxing. Just whatever you do, just make sure you’re listening to your body. Eat, sleep, and hopefully, bathe when you need too – oh and go outside, especially in this lovely weather recently.

Honey, Being a student can get really busy, especially when there are high expectations! But it is a great thing to set expectations for yourself because you are constantly pushing yourself to learn and grow in character. Mama Luv understands that it may be overwhelming and hard to be motivated when you have a lot of stress, so it may be a good idea to take a few short breaks throughout the day doing what you enjoy! For instance, if you like listening to music, take a 15 minute break between projects to only listen to music - nothing else! Also, it is a good idea to spend a few minutes breathing deeply. This helps you clear your mind and bring oxygen to your brain (helping you study better!). And sweetie, try not to procrastinate! It may feel good temporarily to put off work, but when you must cram in the end, that's a lot of stress which can be harmful to your mental and physical health! And as always, while working hard, don't forget to keep your chin up, strut with confidence, and shake what your mama gave ya! Mama Luv is here to help. Love, Mama Luv
