Hello, I go by Imp on here.
I am a freshman in college and have been struggling immensely with burnout and other issues that I just need to get off of my chest. Honestly, I would love to have someone to talk to, maybe even someone that is going through the same struggles.
For further context, my major is Biology with an emphasis in pre-med, so my coursework is incredibly heavily and I have little to no time for myself. I also have a minor in Business while being in an Honors College. I feel like I`m not even myself anymore, to be honest. I am constantly stressing, fighting with myself, and refusing to get work done because I don`t feel confident in my abilities anymore. I don`t know how I went from a perfect student with one of the highest GPAs anyone could ask for to someone that turns in everything a week later and refuses to spend a second studying. Anyone can reach out to me, but I prefer it be through DMs. |

Does your college have peer mentors? When I went to uni, they had students who you could go and talk to. I would strongly suggest going to speak to someone, even if it is a therapist. I went through something similiar at uni and all I did was regret not making the most of my time while I was there because I was struggling so much and did nothing about it. |

I don`t think my college has any. Based on what I`ve seen, there really isn`t anyone to talk to other than my professors, but I don`t have the time to talk with them during their office hours. Yeah, I`m going to try and find someone to talk with about everything. Truth be told, I used to go to therapy and my therapist said I was in the all clear; I stopped seeing them late May. I plan on taking small steps until I can get to the point where I was able to handle everything again. It just sucks that it had to happen when finals are around the corner. |

It sounds like you have A LOT on your plate. I would seriously consider dropping the minor in business and focusing on your degree in biology/pre-med. |

I`ve considered that. I`m probably going to see if I can move my business classes to my last semester of college so I at least have a less stressful last semester.

That sounds like a great idea! Also, freshman year is always the hardest because everything is new. Go easy on yourself. College isn't easy and sometimes we have to make sacrifies to be successful or just survive. My PMs are open if you need advice or want to vent!
