| I just wanted to say that I was really frustrated with my freshman year of engineering (BME) coming to a close. I was tired and burnt-out after studying for nearly 10-months straight ( Summer semester, Fall, Spring) and I definitely fell into a "funk" in terms of doing work and getting things done like I used to during the Summer and the Fall. Additionally, I transferred schools so it was a difficult transition and I spent the first half of the semester in practical solitude until I started making friends through classes. My GPA when I entered was nearly a 4.0, and this semester I barely made Dean's list (3.58, I am a huge overacheiver and this is sub-par for me) due to some of classes being huge weeders and me simply not being as diligent as I once was last semester. I was honestly thinking about dropping my major last week, but after reading this thread I feel a lot better about what I am doing and am ready to get back to work next semester. |
