I have never had a social life. Nope. I only started to have one after coming to college. I keep my school life and home life separate. However, since coming here to college I have wondered why I feel so…guilty. Maybe I am the only one who feels that way but the truth is that because I have never really had a social life, getting one now and stepping away from the major (I literally engulfed myself the first year and a half).

I have started to actually talk to more people and hang out to have lunch or what-have-you. I am adapting to learning to put myself first because I have honestly put myself last in a lot of situations and it is not healthy. So, after realizing that time away from the area I spend my time most, I have accepted that I am getting a balanced life.

Do any of you ever feel like you are drowning at work or school or anywhere to the point where you feel guilty when you do something for yourself? Or is it just me?
