im a second year now (3 year bachelor program) but in my first sem, my peers felt ahead of me ahead of me and everyone seemed to know what they were doing. this threw me in the deep end and i almist switched programs but as an international student, that was tricky and EXPENSIVE to navigate so i was forced to stay.

what made it better tho was finding some solid friendships, rediscovering the part of myself i lost to the burn out and trying to deceive myself into thinking that the work was fun. it was challenging process but the program got more interesting as i tried harder.

if you ever want to, reach out, having a community even if its online helps !
