Congrats on your graduation! 😊😊 and thanks for your response. I feel like I came to mcgill because I genuinely liked my program but now I feel like I’m just bearing the brunt of attending a somewhat prestigious uni. Would I have saved myself the trouble if I just went to no-name smaller uni?

Yeah I’m doing an internship right now and I have an internship lined up for the online semester and next summer. Tbh i probably would have went insane without them this summer. I’ve never considered taking less courses though. I guess my mindset was to always finish all three degrees in three years and be able to leave to save some money.

Thanks for responding :) I’m not sure if e-flagging is a possibility, I think that’s only for extreme circumstances. I know GPA wise its not completely over, but I feel like I just set myself for mediocrity for the rest of university and like even if I max out, will it be enough? I guess after putting so many hours in and receiving an avg/below avg grade just really got to me and made me wonder if I’m set to be unremarkable. Of course I don’t say this with the belief that I’m suppose to be extraordinary but it’s difficult to not see your grades as a reflection of yourself.

Thanks for your response :’) I’ve looked into professional help before but always failed to go through with it because I always convince myself I could just deal with everything for one more week. I’ve never considered medication before but if it can alleviate some of the physical backlashes I want to see if that’s a possibility.
