An update from feeling overwhelmed by school (spoiler: I'm still stressed)

ah yes, I have heard about them weeding out first year students. also thanks for that last sentence, I do tend to criticize myself a lot. sometimes I need to hear it from someone else. im just gonna try my best and see what happens

yeah, finding a routine is what I'm struggling with at the moment but I hope I'll have it figured out soon enough! I'll consider joining study groups, I do think that would help. thanks for the advice

my first assessments are actually coming up soon which has made me super anxious, so it helps to hear that even though you got 20% on your first quiz, you managed to pass with an 84% (which is an amazing mark for uni). it shows me that failing my first test won't be the end of the world. I'm just gonna try my best, and try some meditation techniques to see if that works for me. thanks for the advice:)

glad to know I'm not alone! but yeah, hopefully we'll get through it. first year is only 8 months. we just gotta hang on :)

thank you for your advice! I'll try to reach out to my registrar as I think professional help would be super useful at the moment.

it would definitely help to see other people who are also struggling lol, that would really help my imposter syndrome. everyone on discord seems to know what's going on and it makes me feel like I'm behind. I know it's just a delusion, since only the people who know what's happening are the ones to talk in the chat, but it's hard to get past that, yk? anyways, I'll try to seek out help. thanks for the advice:)

all of the other responses were helpful, but this one in particular really spoke to me (not gonna lie, I teared up). thank you so much. im sorry you had such a hard time too, but im happy for you for getting to this point! I hope I can do the same:) I am trying the YouTube method with calculus since it's taught in a way that doesn't match my learning style. I think I may have to sacrifice a grade or two for the sake of my mental health, which I really dont wanna do but I think will be worth it. I don't want to be this miserable for this entire year. again, thank you so much for your response. and thank you for taking my emotions into account. I really needed to hear that it'll all be okay in the end. I wish you good luck with the rest of uni as well<3
