Advice: “I’ve been going going going since I was a kid — with extracurriculars, jobs and classes. Now I suddenly have nothing to do (except apply to jobs) and I’m spiraling a little. How do I reevaluate what I want?” — Lost Grad

I’m young but I feel so burned out in my field that having some time to reevaluate sounds nice.with extracurriculars, jobs and classes. Now I suddenly have nothing to do and I’m spiraling a little.
