I have all of these random thoughts of fear. As my last college semester is starting. I'm growing more afraid of failure. Finding jobs to help out with paying for gas and books is rather hard around the time of January. I try not to care for politics but the hole doom and gloom everyone is having towards trump taking office is getting really tiresome and depressing. but that is not what is scaring me. I'm more afraid of whatever mistakes I say or do to myself or other people. Cause as time moves on, I feel like people are getting rather personal about anything. I could lose the chance to get a job because I mess up on a social cue . Miss out on the change to have personal connections to others because of a mistake I made in commutation. Or maybe the fact that I'm just not meant to have any at all. The closest I've ever had to a real friendship I've made was online with two people while playing games. I may be almost done with college but I still feel like I'm at a disadvantage with understanding how people and life works.

I bet you've got a pretty good Grade Point Average.

I understand your concerns about the future.

But I think you'll do okay.

You're majoring in computers, right?

I hope you are reading what people are writing.

Communication with other people when you have concerns is key.

You can't just rely on your own perceptions on things.

I have similar fears and thoughts as a 50 year old. But as you get older I think you mellow a little.

Fixed a error! also I'm hoping these thoughts will cool down soon.
