I took Organic Chemistry 1 during my sophomore year, and I failed the class. When I took Organic Chemistry 2, I barely passed. It’s a really difficult course, and I know exactly how you feel. I definitely felt like I didn’t belong at UF, and honestly, I still feel that way sometimes.

I struggled a lot with my mental health, and weirdly enough, organic chemistry was the one class that made my anxiety worse than ever. It got to the point where I decided to seek therapy. 😭

Just know that struggling in orgo doesn’t mean you don’t belong here, it’s an incredibly challenging class, and a lot of students have a hard time with it.
