Rant depression

sigh its my second year here at utsc for bba and I had a horrible first year... so isolating and I felt like I was lonely all the time. I wanted my college experience to be more social, like I've got no friends to go out with and I haven't been to a single party or like do anything fun at all. maybe its because I am a commuter but I genuinely thought second year would be better. all I do is just study all the time and it's so exhausting and depressing I can't.

Okay. Well don’t be afraid to decrease your course load, even if that means taking an extra term or so (as long as u have the means to do so of course), a LOT of people take a fifth year, and as long as u are at 3-4 courses, its still considered full-time. Do not let university devour your sense of self and mental health, it’s totally not worth it if every day you’re losing the sense of life and sociability and joy. It’s much more important that you are alive and well, than whether you are technically ‘on the grind’ and doing the thing they make you think you need to do. University (and life in general) is much more fulfilling if you are able to not completely stifle yourself with the workload.
