Being a college student who is very active on campus in regards to extracurriculars and clubs, while also having three jobs, living off campus, being an out of state student and being a Digital Media major, where there are so many projects always going on, I am always feeling stressed and overworked. I am someone who never really likes to sit around and let things come to me. I have always been the type of person to go out and get things done. I love being busy, learning through experiences, but I tend to overextend myself. I take on too many tasks at a time and I end up feeling so beyond stressed. That's what I wanted to convey in this image. The stressed college student who just feels so behind with deadlines and life itself.
I am someone who is very much in her own head. Constantly overthinking, feeling anxious, stressed and just always worried in a sense. The bottom left picture represents me on the outside. Happy, smiling, as if I don’t have a care in the world. When in reality, everything behind that image is how I feel on the inside. How my head sometimes feels. Being pulled in different directions, worried about whatever is going on around me, and the time I have to accomplish what I need. There is also an overlay of bare trees and snow symbolizing that empty, cold, anxious feeling that seems to be in my head quite a lot. Although someone can look great and happy on the outside to others, they can feel like they are drowning in their own thoughts on the inside. That’s the inspiration for this image.
