The takeaway is that anxiety will always be there in some shape or form, but you can learn to work with it instead of fighting against it. Just be present with yourself and the situation at hand, even when things feel like they are about to fall apart every other week.
When implementing these practices, keep in mind that you can start whenever you want to. As a matter of fact, start as soon as possible. You do not need to wait for Monday, the end of the month or Jan. 1 to make a difference in your life.
At the end of the day, maybe your passion could simply be creating a life that feels agreeable to you, and that doesn't have to take place in your career.

For those who decide to go on vacations, it's exciting to travel with new friends and explore new destinations on a college student's budget.
This “budget” often includes cheap flights to affordable locations. Unfortunately, our itineraries have lasting effects that we as tourists often don’t take into consideration—ones that are not plain and simple.

The discourse around “useless” majors is fundamentally flawed. The liberal arts and humanities have driven societies for centuries. Some argue that pursuing these majors represents a waste of time and money, but to who?
