Second semester grades were much better than first. However, my mental health was completely nonexistent as I pressed the submit button on my last finals paper. I was broken, pissed, and absolutely obliterated. I didn’t get an internship in finance while my friends all got internships at hedge funds, microfinance centers, and big banks. My GPA is so low; I’m not sure what to do anymore.
A part of me wants to transfer but I’ve learned more about myself at Bryn Mawr than I have in the past 18 years of my life when I wasn’t at Bryn Mawr. I have become so much more rational, more focused, and extremely ambitious. Guys rejecting me no longer make me feel incompetent. I don’t priorities partying as much anymore as I learned more about my school’s library system. Plus, a teacher really installed self confidence in me, even though she caught me drinking in class.
I keep telling myself that my second year is going to be much better, and I fear that I’ll repeat the same mistakes again.
Until then,
Edna
