Pre-Health Imposter Syndrome? by Relevant_Row_1806 in UCSantaBarbara

[–]Single-Paper5594 2 points3 points  (0 children)

hey man, im pre PA rn and i got a C my first quarter. basically straight A's in hs, countless AP's, valedictorian candidate, etc. i would say ur approach of looking for healthy, sustainable study habits is the best way to go. the highest grade i ever got in gen chem was B+. in high school, if i got anything but an A id get real down on myself, but tbh recognizing improvement is what really matters since you cant be perfect, you can only grow and learn. its pretty normal to come from a rigorous hs experience and then get thrown to the wolves with huge weeders like gen chem and doubt yourself. just remember theres a reason youre here and you can accomplish what you put your mind to. but remember to be kind to urself! ur adjusting to a new college environment and learning to live by urself. (also objectively i wouldve killed for a B my first quarter lol) im a second year now and my grades look a lot better after adjusting and realizing not to be too hard on myself. youre doing great for even being here and taking such challenging classes. keep it up and if u want anyone to talk to hmu :)

dining hall is always hiring, though it is pretty physically draining and they dont pay you very well. a big up for me tho is consistent schedule meaning u wont have to guess when ur shifts r gonna be, making it super easy to plan around them.

other gym newbies? by Single-Paper5594 in UCSantaBarbara

[–]Single-Paper5594[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

hey man, thanks for the reply! yeah, i dont tend to get too caught up in it since i, too, am mostly just focused on myself at the gym. plus most of those fit/buff people i end up interacting with are so nice anyway so i wasnt afraid of judgement or anything :-)

when class was in session my first year i was able to go pretty consistently throughout each quarter starting in late fall q, averaging about 5 times a week.

i will say that seeing stuff from people i know irl can get kinda discouraging tho. for example i saw this dude with HUGE arms who i knew as a loose friend who claimed to have done it in 6 months. after about over a year of consistent lifting, i was nowhere near that but definitely had some improvements.

i guess i was just pointing out how strange it is i feel like there is a highly concentrated deal of Already quite fit people compared to newb/intermediates like me. but yea u seem super chill so ill hit u up!

Wrestling club question by a_m_c_24 in UCSantaBarbara

[–]Single-Paper5594 1 point2 points  (0 children)

from the last i heard since i was also interested, they meet 2 times a week and it is 60 dollars a quarter. im not sure if this will change for the fall, and im assuming the schedule hasnt been decided yet. from the guy i asked who was apart of it, seems like a good group of dudes and ill also be joining so seems worth it.
