My obsession with perfection is one of my worst qualities. Writing papers and studying sessions always turn into protracted tasks. (There is no way, I can ever take a full course load.) For example, it took me 5 days to write one 4 page paper. (I did get 100%, so it paid off.) My tendency to fret over insignificant things, such as grammar, causes a lot of unnecessary stress.
Changes in schedule are not that bad. I don't freak out it, although I can get very annoyed. As I matured, I have learned to be flexible. My life does need some predictability, so I tend plan my days. It reduces my anxiety, immensely.
I always wanted to be a physician. Over time, I have realized, medicine would not be a realistic career for me. My interpersonal skills are lacking. I think, I would scare people or make them feel uncomfortable.
