Ok first off this may sound really stupid but....
I'm a freshman studying bio/pre med. Since I have started in August, it has been really rough. I knew pre med was going to expect a lot of my time and demand a lot of work, but I have been feeling extremely overwhelmed. I am doing pretty good at the moment grade wise, but I am studying sooooooooo much (i know im not the only one). But I mean lately I have just been feeling overwhelmed. If it isn't studying 6-8+ hours per day/doing homework, it's being completely stressed. I keep worrying about not doing good, and have been getting a lot of anxiety. I feel so stressed when my tests are coming up and I am studying hours after hours after hours. I'm not sure if I don't have good time management skills, but it seems like I have no free time..whatsoever.
I know what I came in for, and I knew what I was getting myself into. There is no other thing I'd want to consider doing besides becoming a doctor. I'm going to keep working hard, no matter what. It's just I keep getting discouraged lately because of all the workload, or how some of the teachers are, or how competitive everyone is (people that I know won't even help me if they're pre med, because they want to get a bigger advantage). Like seriously? Idk, maybe I'm not managing my time well. I want to fit in some time to work out or do something, but then I'm afraid that I won't be doing good or have enough time to study.
I'm trying my best all the time, and it seems like that isn't even enough sometimes. Idk, it could also be that some of my teachers might be the problem. Like the classes that I am doing good in, it's because the teachers actually care and get involved. I have some teachers that don't care whatsoever..it's a shame.
I guess what I'm saying is that YES I am complaining, which is stupid, but I just hate being so stressed and overwhelmed. I know I will have to make sacrifices so that is not what worries me. I guess I'm looking for some advice, encouragement, tips/suggestions on perhaps better time management or just adjusting easier. I know pre med is far from easy, but I would like it to not be all "work". I'd like to enjoy some of it.
I would really appreciate if you guys could give me some feedback! Thanks!
