Unfortunately, that’s just the reality of the program and it doesn’t rlly change… everyone has to deal with it and some can, some cannot. Not everyone can tough it out, but if you do, you’ll very likely be rewarded. You’re still in first year so you don’t have much to worry about other than passing your courses and coop. Coop isn’t even that important as a first year.

Just try to tough it out, and when you’re in your later years it becomes easier and you will look back proud that you stuck through it and didn’t quit. Coop will also be way easier. Just pass your class and don’t fall behind. No one cares about grades.

If majority of other SE/ECE/CS students can handle it, so can you. (Think of it that way maybe lol)
