One month of college has somehow passed, and I have no idea how that's happened. I feel like I've been here for years and also for only a week at the same time.
In high school, I always did well in my classes and never really worried about failing a class or doing badly on a test. High school just came easily to me. College, on the other hand, is a totally different ballpark.
I'm struggling, but that's okay. I would be stupid to think that I would immediately be doing well in a whole new environment. I'm in one of the hardest majors at my school, and I'm struggling, but I'm trying my best. I know that all my hard work will eventually pay off, no matter what my GPA is this semester.
I just want everyone to know that if you're struggling right now, it's okay. It's our first semester of college and being away from our families and friends. I know, for one, that I'm becoming homesick and I can't wait to go home and see my family.
If you're having a hard time, don't be afraid to ask for help. Your professors more than likely want to see you succeed. Make friends in your classes who can help you, especially if you're like me and can't code for shit.
Just breathe. You're doing it. You got this.
