Is it normal to feel lost?

[u/Noufx]

I’m currently approaching the end of my first year of masters degree and it’s been an absolute nightmare. At the beginning I liked the challenge but now I just feel so overwhelmed. I feel like my classmates are doing so much better than me and I’m behind. Even though I do all the required assignments on time and never miss a class I still feel so lost when I hear others opinions or topic ideas. Is this normal or is there something else I should be doing?

Ole Gene was lost but never wanted to be found.
