What Does Overload Look Like For Me?
I freak out. In no uncertain terms, I go, f it. I’m doing too much, who cares, and this is what happens when I overload myself. Sure, I’m plenty smart and have more degrees than the next person, seeing as I have an AA in Creative writing, a BA in creative writing and an AA in anthropology. I want AAs in business administration, with a certificate; I want an AA in paralegal studies and an AA in film and television. All this can be earned online give or take. I guess I propel myself with a horrible feeling of inadequacy because of my 22q, which makes me feel like I’m not as good as the rest, so I have to excel further than the rest. If I get an MFA, that puts me a step closer to a Ph.D. and I think I want three PhDs, archaeology, and English, and psychology. That is more than most people have only because they feel they need it. I feel I need a lot of degrees to even feel competent at any job.
