College, Stress and Life





As you read this the seconds are ticking by until I finally get my letter from BYU letting me know if I got in or not. I had my application in on the last day of November 2016, so here I am waiting. Counting by the seconds until February 28th. I know, patience is a virtue and all that but I want to go to BYU so badly!!!!

It's been kind of a crazy road to even get to the decision of going to BYU, but I know that's where Heavenly Father wants me to be. So I guess I'm just worried and wondering if I have it all wrong and that really isn't where he wanted me to be. Life can be super interesting sometimes.

Life for me right now is going pretty good. I keep having problems with a mystery illness that I will soon be going to a specialist for, so hopefully, they can figure it out. Right now it's not affecting my as badly as it usually does so I'm calling today a good day.

So yeah, I'm kind of stressed. I'm trying to save for college, apply for as many scholarships as I can, hopefully, get into BYU, do my service mission and simultaneously work at my job. However it's good, I know that Heavenly Father led me to the job that I currently have as well as to my service mission. So all there is to do really is sit back and have enough faith in him to enjoy the journey.

I am a college student at Brigham Young University trying to wade through this crazy thing we call life with my mental illness. I have decided to share my story of trying to deal with mental illness in the hopes that it may help others.
