Remember that you’re not playing for midgame, but endgame. Even if you transfer, your GPA from your first school is still factored in; any graduate pursuits or further education will also hinge on your performance in the now.

That’s how I do it, at least. Keep reminding yourself that you play for the endgame, and that the end goal is the most important of all. Or you can approach it with a casual sense of arrogance - you’ve been accepted somewhere better, already performed better, and thus inadequacy is beneath your standards.

I’ve done that a few times.
