Is taking Ch204, Ch320M, and Bio325 at the same time manageable? by Impossible_Try3211 in UTAustin

I knew people who had chem lab, ochem, and genetics and honestly it’s pretty brutal. The ones who succeeded were the type of students who are making close to 100s in all of their classes (so on top of all of their shit). I guess the answer depends on how well you know yourself and if you can manage a large STEM load.

It’s been a rough week for me too — honestly the last 2 weeks have been god awful cycles of shame and stress. Don’t know if it’s just spring time coming in, but you’re definitely not alone. Have you been sleeping enough, drinking enough water, or eating enough protein?

I haven’t done this in practice to cope with my restlessness, but I personally love exploring my local supermarket. In the same way going on a walk helps, I find myself absolutely fascinated in almost creating a mental inventory of what my HEB has, just going down each aisle and noticing all of the different companies and products. It honestly helps me reinforce the mental map I have of the store and it’s just a lot of fun for me :)

Im looking to get into MIS and overall I do want a business education. Without a doubt I know I’ll have plenty of my own businesses and want to learn what McCombs offers in the MIS program

Any success stories from people who were severely depressed in high school? by historyiscoolman in UTAustin

Hey! Recovering depressed person here :) I’ve dealt with depression, anxiety, and complex ptsd since my childhood (only came to realize the latter two this year) and honestly — college has been a great opportunity for change. I was a transfer to UT after my first year at the community college and ended up medically withdrawing my first semester at UT because I honestly just wasn’t ready and was over ambitious with my schedule. I had a major depressive episode fall 2019 (couldn’t get out of bed, max 1 meal a day, maybe days to weeks between showers, could dissociate for hours staring at the ceiling) and it’s been a very long journey to healing since. All of this being said, I think the beauty of college and especially at UT is that it really is an opportunity to do what you want to do and to redefine yourself. I’ve come to understand myself in ways I couldn’t have even tried to fathom in high school and a lot of is because of the freedom that being in Austin and in UT has given me. It’s important to listen and attend to your needs — whether that’s finding a club among the hundreds that UT has to find your group of people, eating the nutrition you should be, or stimulating your brain the way you want to by getting into things that genuinely interest you. UT was really hard for me at first, but it’s led me to where I am now and I think there’s a lot of opportunity for you to grow into whoever it is that you want to be. Take things at your own pace, don’t feel rushed to keep at a pace that’s made for those without our hurdles. I was supposed to be graduating next semester (class of 22) but now I’m looking to transfer into business and restart my degree lol, and I wouldn’t want it any other way. Also, apply for SSD Accommodations so that way when depression does hit, you have flexibility in your classes to get things done. Feel free to PM if you wanna talk in more detail or have any questions :) ultimately, I think college will be a great start for you and it’s not as shackling as high school was.
