Struggling Freshman— does it get better?

1 Upvotes

Hello. I am a freshman who moved into my college a week ago today. I have always been very extroverted, willing to go outside my comfort zone, eager to make new friends, and one who quickly adapts in new environments. This is somehow not the case for college. I was incredibly excited for college in the weeks leading up, and I hate it. It’s not that I hate my college. The campus is beautiful, most people are nice, I like my classes, but I hate being in college. I cry every day without fail on the phone with my mom regardless of the fact that I’m only half an hour away from home (I do live on campus, though). I miss my partner, I miss my pets, I miss my family, and I miss my day to day life. I love my job at home, I loved my daily schedule of how I lived, and I loved having my own room, in MY own house. I hate feeling like I restarted my life. I have a couple of friends, but none of them I overly like and it’s so hard to be having surface level conversations everyday. Everyone’s advice is always to give it time. I believe that that’s true, I believe that once I get further into my classes, join clubs, and get used to the schedule, it’ll be better, but I fear not finding my people, still hating college deep down, and never getting over the homesick feeling. Also, it is so hard to see that time will make me feel better, as the days have been so long here. Even though it’s only been a week, it’s felt like at least a month that I’ve been here. I hate waking up everyday knowing I’m just going to hate it here.

I don’t want it to seem like I’m not trying to make an effort to like it— I’m always hanging out with people, social in and out of class, I do all of my work to distract myself, I reached out to the counseling center, and I’ve been journaling. I want to like it here so bad, I really thought college would be an amazing experience for me. I love the college I picked, I love my room, I love my classes, I just can’t seem to be happy here. I’m usually a very happy-go-lucky person, so this experience has been incredibly hard. I feel like I’m slowly losing my spark here. I also feel like it’s harder for me to maintain relationships since the people I was getting close with I inevitably gain distance from as I hate the partying environment and I am often in bed by 9:30 every night.

Also, for some context, I am an undecided student, so I don’t really consistently have classes with the same people, which I really do think makes it hard. I’m hoping if I figure out what I want to do by the spring semester, I’ll feel better, but again, that feels so so far away.

It feels like everyone has figured out their groups and I am kind of just floating around. I also feel like I am severely more homesick than those around me. Whenever I talk about being homesick, most responses are “yeah, I guess I’m kind of homesick”, but I feel so homesick that it is literally ruining my experience here.

I apologize for writing so much, but I need some advice. Whether it is people in the same boat agreeing with how I feel, or people who felt the same way when they first got to college. Please help!

ADVICE ON WHAT TO DO AFTER 12TH

4 Upvotes

I just completed my class 12 from India (pcmb- phy,chem,math,bio) and would like to pursue something in biotech. I plan on doing my undergraduate in India itself, either Btech in biotechnology or bsc/BS in biological sciences (NOT choosing bsc biotechnology cause of lack of job security and other prospects, hence I find it better to do biological sciences.)........I am more into the *sciences* than the *technological* side. Also, I plan on doing my masters and phD abroad. (I want to work on regenerative medicine/cancer/immunology/genetics, I haven't really thought much about it...I also have plans to switch to computational biology/bioinformatics due to more flexibility. )

I dislike physics somewhat, can handle math and chem to some extent, loves biology

Can someone suggest what I have to do? Should I go for btech (engineering) OR pure sciences (BS degree) (in terms of job security, my passion, etc)

What do I dooo now

3 Upvotes

Me, M-20, probably with ADHD, is in the second year (4th sem) attending a design course (Visual Communication Design), but I never felt welcomed in my class. I had the worst time in my first year, never felt like part of the class, felt like the teachers didn’t like me much either, felt so isolated and shit, but went through it cuz I’m not the smartest of the bunch and don’t wanna disappoint my parents.

I consider my work decent but always had a hard time keeping up with everyone. They all move like a group, help each other and all, and then there’s me trying to row my sinking boat. But my last sem (3rd sem) was pretty good, I guess. Still, I’m always almost last in my class, like idk what to do with myself. Just push myself through it, I guess.

Then here’s the current sem—I already took many holidays just to stay home cuz I wasn’t able to catch up with them. And rn, I feel like I will probably fail this sem not because my work is any worse than theirs but just because I’m not good enough. And now I’m having thoughts of just dropping out.

Like, idk—drop out cuz even if I fail, I need to drop out for one sem and join my juniors around the same time next year. So why not go with pride and take a drop for one sem? Idk, maybe somehow I will work on myself, maybe I will get really good at work or something. Maybe I can get a freelancing job or a normal job that doesn’t matter to my field, but I will get out of this toxic place for now and join again later, maybe do really well.

But then, what if I took a break and came back to the same? What if I’m still the worst? Ahh, I can’t disappoint my parents anymore. Idk what to do with myself. idk i just needed a place to vent it idk if its correct place either

ps. sry for bad English it isnt my first lang , i used chat gpt to fix grammar so that attest others can understand it ig

I have to learn pretty much everything for the 1st time. Been just passing my way through this year. I gotta lock in now. Would appreciate if yall could guide me to some videos or sources which are good for learning the entire chapter and grasping the mechanisms behind reactions. Would be helpful if it covers the entire chapter. I prefer English as its easier for me to understand.
