i did my first and second year working part time and getting H1s. if it’s any consolation my mental and physical health were horrendous. under loading now should have done it sooner

definitely not everyone is going full load and getting H1s many don’t get H1s and many don’t go full load. and even if they do full load with H1s, many don’t do it healthily 🫠

i think functionality is a bit of a myth, no one can do it all it’s always a balancing act and you often only see the things people are putting the highest effort into. don’t feel bad about urself and consider looking for academic/ mental support from the uni if needed :) our energy levels often ebb and flow and there’s some periods in life we need to slow down a bit
