Feeling stuck is a super common issue for university students like us, whether you're a first-year student adjusting to campus life or you're deep into your degree and close to graduating. You’ve been running the college race for a while now, and the initial excitement might have faded, replaced by stress, burnout, and big questions about the future. Maybe your classes feel boring, or you're pushing hard without any breaks, or you have no idea what job you even want after graduation. It often feels like everyone else has it all figured out and you’re the only one hitting a wall. But seriously, almost every student goes through this at some point, and this feeling isn't a sign you're failing, but it's just a normal part of the whole university journey.

Think of that stuck feeling, like when you're on a long road trip and you start to feel restless, needing to stretch your legs or find a new playlist. The feeling is a signal that you need to check your route or change things up to keep going. It’s telling you something isn't working anymore. Maybe your study habits are draining your energy, or you need to figure out how your major actually connects to a real job. This pause actually helps you stop and think about what’s really going on. Instead of ignoring the feeling, you can use it to figure out what's making you feel this way. Once you know the problem, you can start looking for a solution or a different way to move forward.

At the end of the day, it’s about being kind to yourself and asking for help. The university years are a time for growing and preparing for the next chapter, and that comes with challenges. That stuck feeling is temporary, not a life sentence. By listening to it, reaching out for support, and making small, intentional changes, you can totally get back on track and make the most of your time at uni. You've got this.
