Venting school adding stress

[TheMountainTreeEgg]

I've recently started my freshman year of college, and overtime I've been trying to keep up, I don't think its impossible, but I also feel like I haven't adapted fast enough and due to that, I haven't done what a fully could this semester, causing me to do bad. its added an immense amount of stress on my character, and My mental health has plummeted recently.

Oh yh, idrk how ppl can say, "college was the best/most free time of my life". It's pretty heavily responsible for making my life worse not better

God, I had two teachers from high school who used to say shit like this. I still don't know what they mean by it. My first two years of uni were horrible and even now, despite this semester and last semester being a lot better, I wouldn't say that this is the best time of my life.

You will start working then you'll understand your teachers.

Yeah 100% agree, although I've had a little more freedom, my life has definitely gotten more stressful and worse.

My mental health has plummeted quite hard from uni as well.. Studying a subject I never considered before or want to because I didn't get accepted into my dream study has been crushing. I can find no motivation to study or keep living because of it, seems like the future after graduating will be even more bleak than now as I'll need to work a career I have no passion for.

Yeah It's not looking good for me, I'm gonna try to apply to all the scholarships I can so I won't burden my family even more than I've already done. I need to make sure I stay out of their way.

Believe it or not, this is normal. Many people have a rough first year of college. I sure did. I graduated high school with a 4.0 and my first year of college had like a 2.something. It is a whole new way of living that you have never done before and it takes time to adapt. I ended up with a... 3.5? I think by the time I was done with college so do not worry if your first year is not ideal.

Nah lotta teachers r dicks for no reason. No, they're not working hard to educate us, they're getting paid plenty, they just hate students particularly younger ones. Coming from someone who has work experience, and I also have 2 friends who became teachers
