I relate my self worth to my university work

I spent this weekend being really productive, spending time with my close friends, partner, cleaning the house and attending a special course but I didn't do any specific uni work (studying or preparing for classes) and now I can't shake off the feeling of guilt and worthlessness. It is always like that and it's mostly hard for me to enjoy days when I'm not drowned in work.

Rolling up your sleeves when you have to (college being one of those times) is great, and is important for success. But try not to devalue yourself if you aren't perfect. If you need to take time away for your own sanity, do it. Realistically, the certificate is far more important than a perfect GPA, once you get out there.
