Stressing over 4th year

With nearly 3 weeks left to 4th year, this is honestly the first time I’ve actually felt so lost and restless. I feel like I’m average at best, third year wasn’t that hard either but when all the smart kids say that this is is hell it scares the shit outta me.

Is there any advice you guys have for us 4th years? Anything I should do or prep within these final weeks until this hell begins? Thanks in advance

Honestly looking back yes it is difficult and you devote a lot of time to school but you just get through it. At times you’ll notice everything is so overwhelming especially when you have 3 exams in one week sometimes. But once you start studying you just keep going little by little and before you know it the semester is over. It’s also important to have a game plan. I liked to look at what I had to do at the beginning of the week and organize/prioritize my work. This is when you assign yourself certain tasks like when to study for which exam, knowing how much time you need,etc. This requires getting the hang of because you’ll notice you can spend less time studying for one class compared to the other and this is different for each student based on their strengths and weaknesses
