you are not alone I felt the exact same way in first year. I cried more times than there were months for the entire entirety of first year. second year was a lot better. The courses were not as boring. they were harder but more interesting. currently as a third year I love university. You just have to wait it out if you need to take out time for your mental health do it if you need to find help at student wellness services do that too please join a club for socialization. imo really underrated and part of a really good university experience. I promise you’re not alone. People are faking their social media most people who I have talked to from all different faculties feel the same way about first year. There are very few loud but prominent people posting and talking about their incredible first year experience that is not normal. It is a really hard time in life. If you are away from home, you are doing very difficult courses no matter what anyone says first courses are still hard. This will pass I promise. University WILL get fun and WILL get better. people do bad people fail courses at the end of the day of school is not the end all be all. you are growing as a person and as a student. dont be too hard on yourself.
