Hi, guys! So I am a freshman at UCSD and I have been absolutely freaking out about my GPA as I feel like I am going to be a massive failure! I think my predicted GPA for my freshman year is going to be a 3.2 and I feel like it’s terrible. There are the classes I have taken and the grades so far. As a background, I’m an international student from Singapore and its been quite hard to adjust being so far away from home as well as adjusting to the huge university and different types and pace of the classes. I’ve also been having really bad anxiety issues that I have been seeking counseling. My parents keep telling me that it is fine, just focus on the coming 3 years and your minor but I feel like I am doing quite poorly. Any advice on what I can do to get better and my current performance (is this kind of a record normal early on?)
