Du er ikke alene med tvivlen

Når man er i tvivl om sit studie og føler sig alene med usikkerhederne

One day out on a run near her summer house, Pernille Steen Pedersen ran into neighbor Sarah Marcussen, who had recently began her studies at CBS. “How is it going with your new studies?” Pernille asked, to which Sarah replied, “not so well actually, I am in serious doubt about if I have chosen the right study program and I feel very alone with my thoughts.” This was the beginning of a conversation between Pernille and Sarah about the insecurities of study life and in particular about the doubts on study program. Sarah later chose to change to another study program at CBS, but the period before was full of doubts, worries of what others might think, a feeling of being alone in it and stress that influenced her health. In the video she shares her story to shed light on the fact that many students can experience doubts and to help break the silence culture and the myth that there is an “ideal student” who always has everything figured out.
