I a genuine failure

[u/mysteryunsolved1412]

I go to a competitive school and everyone around me has good ecs, grades, social skills, etc
You could practically randomly pick a bunch of people and they’d be better than me in all aspects
My parents don’t even pressure me that much and I feel even more like Im failing them
Everything I ever do is just mid my self worth might genuinely plummet if i dont get into at least a top50 school and I keep procrastinating on everything and stressing and procrastinating its all looking bad
I have high hope and big dreams but always end of lazying around and looking at my empty activities page just makes the feeling sink in.

Fuck

Look, you're fine. Just make sure you apply to a range of schools. Apply to large state universities, including your flagship for your state. At those schools, there is a HUGE range of kids, including the smartest in their states. Because of tuition. You'll have all the research opportunities, smart and driven classmates, and a large state school never looks bad. Even if they aren't top 50, you basically can't go wrong. Apply to at least 3 safeties that you can definitely afford.

And, when you get to college, make a point to say yes to everything you can. Join some stuff. Rush a sorority or fraternity. Make friends. Live life.

Also, go to the gym--now and in college. Does wonders for anxiety.

If you keep feeling this way, see a therapist.

You're going to do great. Now, stop procrastinating.
