College is stressful for everyone, without a doubt, but if you're like me, you feel like as if you're barely surviving at times. I myself am an 18-hour biomedical science major with a preprofessional concentration, and a minor in chemistry. I swear sometimes it feels like I won't make it to the next week, or the next exam or even assignment.

There are many times I'm staring at my Aleks topics due in 5 hours with completely zeroed out topics (meaning I've gotten them wrong so many times consecutively it makes you take a break) and you just have to cry.

And I want to stress that, it is absolutely okay. It is okay if you feel the world is crashing down and you think you hate your major. It is okay if you feel you can't do this.

You may stay up until 3 am studying and it will drain you. It could work for someone and not for another, I don't recommend it. Your mental health is more important than a grade, you can always retake a class, you only have one body. Take care of it.

Someday, it will all pay off. You may not be able to see the day right now, you may change your major and that is okay. You may not believe you can finish, but you can.

This semester has been the most difficult yet and I know I can do this, just like I know you can too.

I won't lie and say it'll be easy. It's going to be hard and you're going to be have to work your ass off to finish, but you can do it.

You can get your bachelors, you can get your masters, your PhD or MD or whatever you're shooting for.

You got this.
