Hi everyone,

I am a foreign international student, and as school is just beyond the horizon, I’m terrified. I don’t feel like I’m ready to be an adult. Im 18, but mentally I still feel like that immature, impulsive 15 year old boy that had no care in the world, except for the little bubble that was my life

I’m scared of being away from family, I’m scared of living alone with just my friends, I’m scared of making my own decisions, I’m terrified of everything. I always told myself I was excited to be independent, but now that I am, I feel so alone, and scared of being independent. I’ll miss my mom singing me to sleep when I was a little kid, I’ll miss arguing with my dad about stuff that seems trivial now, and I’ll miss annoying my sister. I wept in my apartment tonight when I said goodbye realizing that THIS IS IT! I’d always wanted to be here, but the moment I actually get my foot in the door, I want to go back and cry in my mother’s arms. I miss my family so much, and it’s only been one day.

Can anyone else who relates to me tell me how it goes? What can I do to not feel this afraid of my future? I’ve never thought of these kind of things until recently.

Hey everyone,

I’m an upcoming first-year student life sciences student, and I have a pretty good schedule so far, however for my fall term, I only have 2.0 credits. I’m currently taking Bio, Chem, Soc100, and Mat135. What’s an easy course I can take to boost my GPA?

Any suggestions/advice would be greatly appreciated!

Hi,

I applied to UTM for life sciences with a 34 predixted IB score. Grades came around, and I got a 30. Will I be fine? I'm so stressed about this and any help would be appreciated.

Thank you
