I feel older than 25. I worked so hard to get into dental school (acccepted). I have no desire 2go hang out.

Why do I feel like a lump on a log. I have no classes this summer but I don't do anything. Except sit in the house acting as if I am an old hag....


Please give me some suggestion to improve my extremely boring summer. I have a few wks b4 school starts back up...

I think you are suffering from a little burnout, which is certainly reasonable under the circumstances. You may also be feeling at loose ends because for so long you didn't really have a choice about how to spend your time and energy and now you do and you don't know what to do with it. Same thing happens with workaholics forced to take a vacation.





Probably the thing that would help you the most at first is just some physical exercise. Just go walk around the block, go swimming, or whatever appeals to you. And if you say nothing appeals to you, think back to what used to and go do that. This will also help you get in shape to deal with school when it starts.

Reply:There really isn't anything wrong with just staying home and chilling. Hopefully you have some really good books to read (other than textbooks) to give your mind a well deserved rest. Your focus on school is a healthy one and will pay off in the long run. Don't be too harsh on yourself....this is a well deserved break and you may not get too many more of these. best wishes

Reply:Depression, you seem to need structure, but if concerned, find an interesting hobby, or get a professional opinion.
Reply:In summer, for me most of the time it's better to stay at home considering how hot the weather is. But you can go swimming and it will definitely make you feel better. Other than that, you may wish to take courses in a different kind of sport, archery or squash, whatever. Reading is always a top choice(if you are into reading, of course) in the summer.You can read some mystery novels.Another option is that you can start learning a foreign language in a course outside or on the Internet, and then practice with native speakers via Skype. There are lots of things to do, just don't feel depressed.
