Q: I always over-think things. I always feel like I need to be on top when it comes to school. If I don't get A's or B's, but more so A's, I panic. I cry. If I do bad in a class, I feel like a loser. I feel like I'm not worth anything. I haven't had good luck in jobs. But, I've worked at these random offices and couldn't handle the work-load with school and all my other priorities. I was working close to 30 hours a week. I start working at school tomorrow and I'm so excited that I'll be at school. I've been looking for a job at school for 2 years! And it's only 15 hours a week. So, I can handle my classes and activities and enjoy my college years... just with a little money in my pocket. But, I'm scared because I've just over-thought it. I want to be a good employee. If you can send me any advice on how to stop over-thinking and just be proud of my accomplishments, please let me know.
Thank you!

I feel like this a lot sometimes - no matter how awesome you are, you always feel like it's not enough. So to help me combat it (because I am a creative type, and yes, this is a creative project) I went out and got myself a huge sheet of poster board.
On the top of it I wrote: THINGS THAT MAKE ME AWESOME.
Then I brainstormed what made me awesome, whether it was from working with adults with disabilities while earning a Bachelor of Arts with a Gender Studies minor to the fact that I know all the words to "Don't Stop Believing". You are awesome, just sometimes you need a reminder of it. And a visual poster is always a good reminder.
I also (because feedback is nice) made little business cards. On the card it says, "You are awesome because _______." Then I went to people I knew, and told them why I wanted them to write down something awesome about me. A few didn't want to write which was cool but I got some really nice comments about things I didn't know about. Or you could ask this question on Facebook. See what happens, what people say.
