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 :)
