Need help with fatigue remedy for college life

Fatigue remedy’s? I have started college and there’s a lot of walking around campus and carting heavy books and bags around and stairs and my body is dying. Something besides a hot bath bc my hot water is acting up. Pls help me or I won’t make it through the week let alone the semester.

The way I tend to deal with it is to try and avoid fatiguing situations as much as possible. Take an elevator instead of the stairs if the building has one. Have a friend help carry your things. See if campus security will give you a lift to far away buildings if they offer that (at my school they drove me to a building a couple blocks from main campus and back twice a week for a semester and it was super nice). I also heavily /heavily/ recommend getting into contact with your school's disability services if you haven't already. They can help you with these things and if you provide documentation of your illness (usually a doctor's note) they legally have to. Then you can request accommodations in the classroom, too, but you need to go through the proper channels before help is needed - accommodations can't be applied retroactively. I've found over the last two years (I'm a junior now) that college accommodations are mostly a self advocacy thing, even if the disability office tries to tell you they'll take care of it. Be your own advocate and don't be afraid to ask for help! You deserve a proper learning experience without having to suffer for things out of your control. Feel free to message me if you have any questions about it or just wanna chat 😁

I just stopped by the disability office today after classes and they offer a shuttle service but my classes are near each other. My problem is the terrain it’s a lot of hills so walking up and down they makes my legs hurt
