I just finished my first year of college. My first semester went pretty well I had a 3.9 GPA, 4.0 non-science, 3.7 science. I was volunteering 4 hours a week at the Emergency Room. This past semester I had a 3.2 GPA, slacked off a lot more. I volunteered for 4 hours a week at my university's Immunology and Signal Transduction Lab headed by my dean.
I feel so pressured out to maintain extra-circular activities and a high GPA. Part of my decreased performance last semester was simply just stressing out about grades. Now that its summer I was supposed to attend the SMDEP at UCLA but I got pneumonia so I couldn't go. I feel like my summer is going to waste so I'm reading up classes I'm taking next semester.
I feel quite exhausted, stressed and very pressured out. Its quite hard for me to relax. I just wanted to know if anyone else is feels the same way as I do and how they successfully dealt with it.
Thanks
