Is imposter syndrome & burnout actually common?

Hi there, not sure if this a typical post for this subreddit, my apologies.

I'm going into the third year of my B.Sc in biochemistry. I do well in my classes, but feel like I simultaneously know nothing. I just started working in a lab on my campus, and I'm going to start volunteering in another come September. I feel like I don't belong. I also worry that I am not smart enough to make it to grad school.

I genuinely feel like I am getting a little burnt out, and I'm just wondering if anyone else here feels similarly at all. I write this while I'm meant to be studying for an exam I have tomorrow, that I am likely going to fail. I'm usually top of my class, but for the last few months, I've been having a hard time. I feel a little lost, and I'm looking for some input.

Thanks :)

Chem3430 (analytical chem 2) insights

Hey guys, haven't been able to find much online—wondering how the lab component for this course was? Is the grading scheme similar to that of CHEM2480 where you are entirely dependent on your unknowns accuracy?

Tysm!!

Unpopular opinion: I don't like the addition of shops

I'm an og player who played from ~2012-2018, and I miss the aspects of trading! I found it so much more fun to trade your way up. Now everyone just uses the shops, which are of course only for members.

Like wtf 😭 I know that classes are starting later this year but this defeats the purpose of not having a fall reading week..?
