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.
