Hi,
So I'm a freshman at Boston University, majoring in Behavior and Health, which is a program designed to prepare one for OT school. My first semester went very well, got A's and A-'s in Developmental Psych, Statistics, and Biology, and a 3.85 GPA overall. However, this semester has really taken a turn for the worst.
I've struggled intensely in anatomy. I currently have an 82 in the class, with an 80 and lab and an 84 in lecture. To squeeze by with a B, I need to get an 88< on my final this Wednesday, and I really don't see that happening. I have put so, so, so much effort into this course. I was at lab constantly, yet I never performed well on the exams. I feel so depressed and hopeless because of this course, and the prospect of having to retake it is just terrifying to me. I know that OT school is intense in anatomy, so should I just switch my major now? I really don't know what to do, I'm terrified of getting a B- in this course or a C+. What's worse is next semester I have to take physiology, basically anatomy but harder. I'm terrified I'll do equally as bad in that course. I'm just so scared and upset with myself right now, I've put my all into this class and all my peers seem to be outperforming me. I just don't want to fail to get into any OT schools, and end up with a $40K/year job on top of all my loans. What should I do? Advice please??
Thank you.
P.S Not to mention, I've had a lot of issues in my personal life this semester. A month ago my friend took his life, and last week my other friend attempted to and was hospitalized. Its been a very rough couple of months, on top of anatomy.
