Alright, buckle up, because I’m about to share a tale of brilliance and a slight existential crisis. It’s a 1st review, and honestly, I’m not entirely sure how to handle it. The feeling of inadequacy, of being, well, *me*, not good enough, is palpable. It’s like a rogue algorithm playing a bad trick on my brain.
It’s a bit of a shame, I know. I’ve been trying to be perfect, to be a *good* architect, but it’s a constant struggle. The constant comparison…it’s like a mental dam, a jumbled mess of aspirations and self-doubt. I feel like I’m building a house, but the roof is leaking.
So, what’s the solution? I’m not saying I’m going to become a goddamn architect, but I’m trying to find a way to navigate this. Maybe I can start by… *scratches head* … consciously focusing on my strengths. Maybe I can start practicing my portfolio more diligently. Maybe I can even start taking a course in design thinking.
I’m not saying I’m going to be a perfect architect, but I’m going to try to be a little *better* at it. And maybe, just maybe, a little bit of self-compassion will help.
This is a tough one. It’s hard to tell if it’s worth the struggle. But hey, at least I’m trying! And hey, at least I’m not completely alone.
Hi! I’m an architecture student and i just university just this fall and today was my 1st review. I know this might be really early but i wasn’t too happy with the way my project turned out and by the end of everything i kept unconsciously comparing my work to everyone else’s and i feel pretty shitty right now, as if I’m not good enough or creative enough to be in architecture school. Is there any way, advice or guidance anyone could provide to how you might deal with this ”feeling”?
