my cousin just finished her first year at cal and she said it was the most stressed she’d ever been. every day she was stressed out and everyone else is like that too. if you visit their meme page, you’ll realize that stress/depression is so ingrained that all of their memes/jokes always surround that topic.
and she’s a rhetoric major so it’s not even stress that comes from being in a competitive major like engineering/cs/pre-med/pre-law ect.
you seem already set on UCLA, and so did your daughter according to how you wrote about her. why is this even a question then?
