Freshman here. Highschool was incredibly easy, used to study the exam’s night and still get a full mark. Whereas now I have to study weeks before a midterm and even more for a final in hopes of a good mark. Shock is not enough of a word to describe the transition I experienced between highschool and these last 2 semesters I’ve had. And the more depressing part is knowing that the following years will be by far even more stressful. Sometimes I try to cope by saying if it was easy not everyone would be doing it. There are many things I feel uncomfortable about here in college, the lack of socializing for instance compared to school times, but I don’t really care about that as much as the academic stress. Rn I’m almost done with the midterms, I haven’t been resting well or interacting with people as much, and then the finals begin only 2 weeks afterwards. Got no other choice but to keep pushing I guess.
