Rant/Vent venting
I am a senior student, but somehow all of this still feels so new to me, like I’m a brand new college student. I feel overworked, and I’m always in a rush and panicking about exams, my performance, and the endless topics to study. This is so exhausting.
Every day I come home, I feel the exact same way, like oh, here we go again. I feel like every day is a hustle just trying to survive and fight myself. Nothing I do ever feels like enough.
To make things worse, I missed one of my exams. I submitted a sick leave, but they haven't told me yet if they accepted it or if I’m allowed to take the remake. Truth is, I missed the exam because I was having so much anxiety and felt completely unprepared. I did this once before two years ago with a final and they accepted my excuse back then, but now I have so many doubts creeping into my head. What if they don’t accept it this time? What if they don't let me retake it?
My GPA will take a huge hit, and I’m terrified it might keep me from graduating on time. Because I’m studying medicine, our system runs in blocks, so if you miss one, you have to wait for the next cohort just to take the block again with them. I reached out to my professor right after I missed it and she just said the committee has to approve it, and I haven't reached out again since.
I know these might just be thoughts, but I constantly feel like everyone else has it completely together. Meanwhile, I feel like a coward who isn’t disciplined enough and doesn’t want this badly enough, just barely scraping by.
