I think most people in college are just pretending to have their life together

The more I observe people around me, the more I feel like nobody actually knows what they’re doing.

Everyone acts confident, posts like they’re enjoying life, talks like they’ve got plans…

But when you actually have real conversations, it’s a different story.

Stress, confusion, self-doubt — it’s all there, just hidden.

Sometimes I feel like college is just one big acting performance and we’re all playing roles.

Am I wrong?
