Real life is sneaking up
Caught between directions

Kind of invisible

Too used to the routine
Began to slack off
Not getting anywhere with your goals
Not the youngest so not getting the attention but also not the oldest so not given the opportunities
Difficult to keep motivated
Tired of working so hard
Excitement over
Nothing’s new
Want to hurry up/graduate
Thinking you know It all
High expectations falling now
A lot tougher
Not in academic groove
A dead zone
