Dear MEL Topic Readers,
Why the 'sophomore slump' of adulthood hits so hard
The first year of a major life event is always exciting for school, job, or marriage. With new hope, expectations, experiences, discoveries, challenges, and acquaintances, people can spend a thrilling and fulfilling time. But when they get used to these initial excitements, they often realize that they are facing the same or even more demanding routines and requirements, which tend to occur in the second year. Some people then fall into the second-year, or sophomore slump. Have you ever experienced or gone through this kind of mental distress? Surprisingly, it is a natural feeling that is hard to avoid for many people after experiencing all sorts of newness in the first year. The road ahead looks steeper than before but the goal is hard to be seen. Unless you are self-motivated and encouraged by someone or something, it seems hard to go through this period. Are there any practical solutions?
Enjoy reading the article and learning about this second-year slump.
