Help. Thanks. Wow.

I’m gonna be real with y’all. I’m burnt out. Trying to balance my academic obligations, two jobs and my search for a place to plant my roots after graduation while keeping up with staying emotionally, mentally and physically healthy is a lot more than I’ve asked myself to do in a long time.
