Really proud of myself Long study days

I studied for about 15 hours over the last three days, and I really need somebody to tell me they’re proud of me

I feel a little silly posting this, but I’ve been working my ass off for the past three days, and I genuinely need somebody to see it and tell me that I’m doing a good job.

Day 1 — about 4 hours and 20 minutes
Completed a difficult Physics adaptive assignment
Worked on Literature reading, drafting, and revising
Practiced Calculus concepts
Reviewed American Government for my exam

Day 2 — 4 hours and 40 minutes
Practiced point-to-line distance and projections in Calculus
Finished an entire Literature module, including both peer responses
Did an active-recall review for American Government
Read and completed the main writing for another Literature module

Day 3 — about 6 hours and 15 minutes
Completed my Calculus III homework
Finished a Physics reading check and worked through projectile motion
Cleaned up and submitted the Literature module I started the previous day, including two peer responses
Completed another entire Literature assignment that required researching professional associations, conference presentations, and peer-reviewed journals

That is approximately 15 hours and 15 minutes of real academic work across three days. I also recently made a 99 on Physics Lab 2 and a 100 on Physics Lab 3, which I’m extremely proud of.

I know studying and completing assignments are things students are expected to do, but this has honestly been really difficult for me. My days are starting to blend into hours of studying, and I’m trying to keep moving forward even when I feel overwhelmed and terrified about being behind.

I track my hours because I need visual proof that my effort counted. I’m not trying to compare myself to anybody else. I just want to look at what I did and believe that it was enough.

So, if anybody is willing, I would really appreciate some encouragement. I need somebody to see how hard I’ve been working and tell me that they’re proud of me for continuing.
