I don't have it in me to finish this semester
by exuberantCucumber7467
Last post
 16 hours ago
...See more I've officially reached my limit. I'm on my second year of med school and this semester has been really challenging for me, I've been working two jobs because my dad had to quit his and I'm basically the only one with income in my family at the moment. I can't keep up with the workload, my physical and mental health are at rock bottom, I'm barely sleeping, I keep getting sick and having the worst migraines I've had in my life, keep missing classes (I missed a midterm last week due to my poor health). I know I don't want to quit med school but this particular school is making me want to crawl under a rock and never come out. The professors keep dismissing my pleas for help and make it everybody's business that I'm missing classes and on the verge of failing, I can't take the humiliation in front of my peers and I'm exhausted. My uni has this very old-fashioned/high school feel to it, we have assigned seats, a mandatory suit and tie dress code and we even have roll call every single day for every single class, half the classes I'm taking aren't even taught by the professors they just have us prepare presentations and I'm just sick of it. This wasn't my first choice for school and I only ended up there because it was the only one I could afford at the time. I feel like I don't have it in me to finish this semester and have even started thinking about transferring to another school but I'm thinking of withdrawing before the semester is over to avoid academic probation. I can't find the support I need at this place nor do I feel like I'm receiving the education I deserve. I can't take another week, the thought of waking up tomorrow to go to class makes me have a panic attack. I don't know if I should withdraw or stick around till the end of the semester, I'm just a mess right now.

Get Help With Your Homework｜Pear Editing

Last post
 Friday
...See more Hello, lovely student support community. This thread is for pear editing. You can post your essay, paragraph, or presentation if you want feedback from another person. ------------------------- Here are the rules: ◎All posts must be 7 Cups appropriate. (Papers with topics like racism, negative thoughts about discrimination, information about other users here on Cups, etc. are prohibited.) ◎Be supportive and kind. ------------------------- Writing process; 1. Choose a topic. Before you start writing, you need to decide exactly what you’ll write about and do the necessary research. What's your purpose for this paragraph or essay? Why this topic? 2. Do the research. • Searching for primary and secondary sources. • Reading the relevant texts closely (e.g., for literary analysis). • Collecting data using relevant research methods (e.g., experiments, interviews, or surveys) • (For argument paragraphs, it's also advised to read opinions from people of the opposite point of view.) 3. Planning and outlining Especially in academic writing, it’s important to use a logical structure to convey information effectively. It’s far better to plan this out in advance than to try to work out your structure once you’ve already begun writing. Click Here if you want a review for structure of essays [https://www.scribbr.com/academic-essay/essay-structure/#:~:text=The%20basics%20of%20essay%20structure.%20There%20are%20two] Structure for paragraphs [https://www.scribbr.com/research-paper/paragraph-structure/#:~:text=The%20number,%20length%20and%20order%20of%20your%20paragraphs] Structure for summarys [https://www.scribbr.com/working-with-sources/how-to-summarize/#:~:text=If%20the%20text%20is%20a%20scientific%20paper%20that] 4. Write the first draft. Once you have a clear idea of your structure, it’s time to produce a full first draft. This process can be quite non-linear. For example, it’s reasonable to begin writing with the main body of the text, saving the introduction for later once you have a clearer idea of the text you’re introducing. To give structure to your writing, use your outline as a framework. Make sure that each paragraph has a clear central focus that relates to your overall argument. 6. Get feedback from peers. Here are some common points to look at while peer editing someone's work: ▪ Grammar. ▪ Punctuation. ▪ Spelling. ▪ Overused expressions. 7. Redrafting, revising, and writing the final draft; Look at the paper critically at your first draft and find potential areas for improvement. Redrafting means substantially adding or removing content, while revising involves making changes to structure and reformulating arguments. 9. Read the writing work before turning it in. ------------------------- @daydreammemories, @iloveyouxx, @enigmaticOcean8813, @hi66666, @Admirablerainbow2825, @TheCrew4887, @farhanR, @farhanR, @PsychPrashansa13.
Let's talk about burnout! 🧠💤
by izzyy528
Last post
 Friday
...See more Hey everyone, I hope you're all doing well! 😊 I wanted to start a conversation today about something I think a lot of us can relate to - student burnout 🧠💤 What is burnout? Burnout isn't just feeling tired after a long day of studying; it’s more than that. It’s when you feel emotionally, physically and mentally drained, like you’ve got nothing left to give. Suddenly, even the things you usually enjoy feel like a chore. Sound familiar? 😣 I know I’ve personally been there, especially during those crunch periods (exam season, I’m talking about you!). You might start feeling: * Exhausted even after resting * Unmotivated to do schoolwork or activities you usually enjoy * Like you’re constantly behind, no matter how much you do * Overwhelmed and anxious about deadlines or expectations If you're experiencing any of this, you're definitely not alone 💛 So, what can we do to about burnout? This can definitely vary between individuals and what works for one person may not work for another. Here are a few things that have helped me, but I’d love to hear your tips too! * Setting boundaries: It’s okay to say no sometimes. Balance is key. Carving out time for yourself, whether it's to chill, exercise, or do something fun is super helpful. * Take breaks: I know it feels like we don’t have time, but taking short, regular breaks can help you recharge. The Pomodoro technique (25 minutes study, 5-minute break) can be super effective. 🍅 * Stay organised: It can be so much more motivating to break tasks down into manageable chunks and using a planner or an app to keep track of them. Checking off tasks feels amazing and helps you see progress! * Talk about it: Sometimes, just venting to a friend or family member helps lighten the load. You can also share your experiences here - we're all here to support each other! 😊 * Self-care (it's not optional): Make sure you're getting enough sleep, eating properly, and doing things that make you happy. Burnout can hit harder if you're neglecting your physical and emotional needs. I'd love to hear from you! What are your experiences with burnout? Have you found any strategies that work for you? Let’s all share tips, encourage each other, and remember that it’s okay to take a step back when we need it. 💪✨ Sending positive vibes to all the hardworking students out there! 🌟  Can't wait to hear from you all ❤️

...See more Quite sad actually, just too much exam stress, and just my mental health is vulnerable. Also I don't have fast friends I can immediately confide in, so I am talking about my feeling here. The exam I'll give, the stakes are high ( my future employment in question) , high uncertainty, and high competition. It's crushing pressure. Also it doesn't help that I have helicopter parents. The true, real motivation for me is once I clear this exam I can move out of my parents house. Freedom at last. For me that's the most precious thing, not money but freedom. I just don't feel good. This crippling anxiety forming background noise each day, and waking up with a pit of dread each morning. I know this will pass and is a temporary state, but the thing is this has been going on for 4 years. And I think I have reached my breaking point. Any support or kind comments will help. I really could use that right now.
I'm worried about my freshman applications as well as my entire college journey

...See more This might be a lengthy post, but I just wanted to let my thoughts and feelings out here. I am currently on the last year of high school and basically, this year would be so important to me. Why? Because it's time to determine which university I'd be applying for my tertiary education. The thing is, though my home country (Philippines) had some good schools, my ultimate desire is to study abroad. I have recently taken an entrance exam to one of the universities I tried applying for and another would be scheduled next year. It seems that my parents have decided to just keep me and would most likely urge me to take my degree here instead, although it opposes to the plans my heart was set on. Speaking of studying abroad, I wanted to continue my studies in Canada. Unfortunately, looking at my situation, it seems impossible to reach my dreams. We weren't that wealthy, my parents didn't want me too separated from them, and I'm too stupid to be independent. I have been working hard to improve myself in that aspect, but what's been happening to me has been clear....there will be a high chance that I will never pursue the degree I love in another country, which is disheartening. I always pray that there would still be a tiny chance of it turning into a reality. I always hoped that one day, I would make up into my own incapability to make it happen and the tables would soon be turned.

...See more Hi all , I’m a first year uni student ,fresh out of high school. I really enjoy the program I’m in and everything, but I had a lot of trouble eating in high school and now am finding myself slipping back to old habits , and feeling guilty otherwise. There’s a lot of parts to school that seem to trigger me, but they’re pretty much unavoidable. This is starting to get in the way of my school work, because I get anxious and really tired. Does anyone know any tips to help with this ? It’s getting really exhausting and I’m only 2 months in. Thanks

...See more Hi all, I have just joined 7 cups today and at first I was a little bit nervous about starting this but the nerves have calmed as it’s got further throughout the day, A little bit about myself: I am 17 and currently at college studying my A-levels. My dream is to be a clinical psychologist and help as many people as possible which is why I have joined 7cups. i hope everyone is doing well and I’m glad to be part of this! :)
