Am I setting myself up for disappointment? / Florida State
Hey guys. I'm currently a freshman at Florida State and am hoping to rush this upcoming fall.
I wanted to rush this fall, but ultimately just wasn't ready to go through with the process.
For the past couple of years I've suffered from some serious anxiety issues, so rushing just wasn't a realistic option for me.
This past year I've gone to counselling to try and overcome all these anxiety issues, and I feel like I've imporved a ton, so now I feel like I'm ready to go ahead and partipctae in rush!
The problem is that I'll be rushing as a sophomore, so I already feel at a disadvantage.
But my main issue is the effects of the anxiety I've dealt with as a freshman. I've practically kept to myself most of the year, so my campus involvement/volunteering/Greek connections are practically nonexistent.
I'm a naturally shy girl, so this all worries me.
I don't plan on going into recruitment and making any mention of this (anxiety) in order to explain why I don't have those, so I feel like girls will just look at my application and automatically reject me.
I've kept a high GPA, but that's all that I've really got going for me when it comes to school related things.
Honestly, do you guys suggest I should go ahead and rush? It's something I've wanted to do since last summer, and I honestly would feel so bad if I didn't try this year. But at the same time, I don't want to set myself up for a huge disappointment.
Thank you to anyone who responds!
