Hay there Spazz......You call all that underachieving. In that case we all are in trouble of being underachievers. Sounds like you are expecting too much out of yourself. I must admit I am very similar....& have been in a similar place.

Everyone tells me that I expect too much out of myself when I have a hard time doing all the things I volunteer for. It took me a while to realize that my problem was that I didn't know how to say NO.....I have too many other responsibilities.

The easiest way (& it is not easy) is to prioritize everything you are doing......things with lower priority & things that others can help with....it's time to cry for assistance.

I also learned much in my management training is that to be a successful manager, you need to deligate the work & not do it all yourself. I know at times it seem like it is just easier to do it ourselves rather than try to explain what needs to be done....but others need to learn how to do the things too.

Sometimes I felt like I needed to be needed.....but then there was more of me needed than I had to give. That does cause the "burn out" as Jan said.

I would think that your main priority would be to get the internship & spend more time being able to concentrate on the up coming tests. I know when I had many things going on....I would study for my tests but my retention stunk because my mind was on everything else & I was usually exhausted....& low grades were the result.

You are down to the last bit of school. Priority #1: successful graduation. You have been involved in enough things to make your resume look awsome......but remember they also look at not just what you can do but how you can get others to be involved too.

Just a hint from a seasoned aerospace engineer (unit manager). I have seen what the real world looks for......good grades, involvement, organizing projects & TIME MANAGEMENT.

Just a hint for your future success which you are well on the way to with all your drive. Go for it but don't kill yourself in the process.
