Today I had an interview for the job of my dreams as I will be graduating from college next month. I’ve been preparing for this interview for weeks now and practicing every day. I was so confident it would go well as I am a great candidate for this position and have the merit to show for it. I even wrote down my answers to the interview questions provided beforehand and practiced them extensively. But when the time came, I was overwhelmed by anxiety. I could not formulate full sentences but rather read off of my document and apologized multiple times for no reason. My full body went into shock and my brain was freaking out. I’m so disappointed in myself right now because I know I can do it but my brain loves to play mind tricks. The irony in all this is that I am a psychology major and know exactly what my brain is doing to me and yet I can’t help but give in.
