      Feeling like you are not doing enough

      in Feelings in my 20s

      Have you ever felt like everyone around you has done more than you even though you are the same age? For example, Katie is a micro-influencer and works with massive brands or Sam finished an internship for a media company and you can’t even get an email back about

      an internship? Now imagine this but with 30 people; that has been my life for the past 10 weeks since starting my masters in marketing after I graduated this year with a degree in psychology. However, because of COVID-19, I was unable to do any internship through both summers as companies did not carry out any and if they did it was super selective. I have one class on Tuesday where my ‘professor' - let’s call him ‘E’ - asks us’ what experiences we have in the industry. Everyone has an answer about working these great jobs or internships and all I can say is I have worked on some paperwork for my dad. I always ask myself, ‘why is everyone else getting these opportunities and I am stuck in the same spot as I was months ago?’ I feel like I am doing everything people are telling me to do and nothing works. It also makes me feel insecure about my achievements because they are not as impressive as others. I knew I would feel like this when I started my first ‘adult job’, but I was still not prepared for how tough it is; here’s hoping it won’t last much longer.

      Preeeeaach. When I in my first year of university, I met friends who were going into funding rounds for their startups and I couldn’t even understand the words they were saying. From my own experience, I can say that you’ll find your way, promise. And honestly you don’t know what being “inexperienced” and therefore open minded could do for you
