Overwhelmed with Academic Struggles

Just hang in there and ask for help from whomever you can. Also, going forward it is helpful to have “study buddies” in each of your classes. A study buddy is someone who can give you notes/ catch you up on anything you missed. You don’t even have to become bffs with them, just don’t forget to return the favor when you can. :) Good Luck! 🍀 You can do this!

I was in your position a few days ago and my deadline was the 23 so I feel your struggle. I’m so sorry. Ugh. There may be a retroactive medical withdrawal available if you think you can’t complete it. There may also be accommodations to adjust the course load (I didn’t get any but I hear they may exist). Open communication is so important and just try not to be too hard on yourself. All easier said than done. Take breaks. Make lists. If you’re not making progress on one assignment, move on to the next and come back the first one later. And remember that in 30 days, the stress will be over one way or another.

I’ve been in your exact situation many times before. My only advice is to take it slow and push through it. The trick is that the work doesn’t need to be perfect, y’know? If you scrape in a bunch of 5~ point assignments, they’ll add up quickly. Try to communicate with your teachers about your struggles and see if there’s any way they can help you, they are there for you after all. Take breaks, take some deep breaths, and remember that it’s gonna be okay 💕
