Oh honey, I'm so sorry. ): I wish I could help. I'm always here to lend an ear and a metaphorical shoulder if yo need me.

I had to both drop a class then quit a whole year prematurely about 2/3rds in, but I still got through in the end. I think you can too. ~Believe in the Busterella that believes in you~

(I've said this before, but I really do think tumblr fosters an unhealthy environment. I don't think you need to be as drastic as you say, but it might be good to, say: unfollow everyone and instead check your -favorite- blogs manually periodically (IE do not have a dash), don't browse/reblog very much, etc. This is what I've been doing (and it's been hard, but I've finally started to really cut down on browsing) and I think it's been good for my mental state.)

I think I might just cut my dash down to my mutuals, which is going to be difficult because of blogs that I do really love but I just can't take this mental stress it's piling on me. It used to be a fun environment. It's not anymore. Not about 60% of the time.

<3 I'm glad you're gonna be here for me when I need you anyway, love. I'm sorry I'm such a loser in not getting back to you about projects. I really thought this year was going to be easier but nothing is getting easier and I am actually really sad about that. I need to reshuffle my priorities. A lot.

In short <3 <3 ,3 ,3 <3 <3 <3 I will pull myself through this like I always do but right now life SUCKS

I was gonna come in and leave a sympathetic comment but I see you already have one so instead I will take this tack:

STOP BEATING YOURSELF UP QUILLY

STOP IT

STOOOOOOPPPPP

And now some thoughts on a few (not all) the things ♥

2. College is indeed a shitty time to have writing projects; I honestly only got really prolific once I was OUT of college. So don't feel bad about not getting through your writing goals - Hell, don't even make any. Ambition and a desire to improve is good, but the time and energy necessary need to be in place to facilitate the best results, and unfortunately school is incredibly unforgiving when it comes to your time and energy. Your brain (and body) need time to recharge from the burden school puts on your shoulders, so don't feel guilty (if you do) about not having the energy for anything more than some internet surfing.

Re: Tumblr, I second what busterella said and have been meaning to post something about that for awhile. But yeah. While there's a great deal of good things on Tumblr, I think the environment can ( ... )

:) I'm doing my best (omg that video). I'm definitely a lot calmer than I was this past weekend and I count that as a plus. I'm figuring out how to reorganize myself and it's nice to be able to just say No to some things and relax when I need to.

Re: Re: Tumblr I think this upcoming weekend I'm gonna go through a pretty severe purge. I will most likely cry. It's gonna suck. But I think I really need to do it.

3. AWW THANK YOU I WILL TRY TO BE MORE ACTIVE BECAUSE I MISS YOU GUYS <3

Seriously, though. Thanks. It means a lot that you're willing to talk to my dumb-butt self and try to help. <3 <3 <3
