Like beyond the work of my classes I have no idea what I am supposed to do when I am supposed to do it. I have read through my syllabi but they are all so so so loose that I am not sure when I do what and for how long and how hard I should try. I am so overwhelmed and confused, I just feel so crazy, and sad. It feels like I hear conflicting advice every single time anyone gives me any amount of advice. I literally just do not know what to expect. Like I hear about "study, study, study, and study some more but I have no idea what I am supposed to study and when and I hear things like "get ahead during syllabus week" but I have absolutely no idea how to "get ahead" it feels like I am in a state of being perpetually behind with every single things I try to do. I am so overwhelmed I punched my desk and split my finger open and now its bleeding everywhere. I just feel so dumb and stupid and I feel like I just can't do anything right, when I am supposed to know everything. I just needed to rant about how miserable I am feeling right now.

I am a prepharm/biochem major, and I am trying to have an easy start. I transferred a ton of credits, so I am far ahead of where I need to be and don't need to take any of the first-year classes or seminars except for LFIT and global language up to level 3

Hey I'm an incoming first year student at UNC-Chapel Hill who will be coming in with over 63 community college credits and I currently am on the Pre-Pharmacy Track. The courses I'm coming in with satisfy all of my gen eds except for Communication Beyond Carolina. I've finished Gen Chem 2 and up to calculus 2. I don't really have any classes that I can take to pad my schedule and make it easier to transition in and all I'm stuck with is classes which don't really stack very well together especially in the first semester. Currently the only classes/type of class that I see on my tar heel tracker that I have not completed are CHEM 241/241L, Lifetime Fitness (LFIT), CHEM 261,  Communication Beyond Carolina, CHEM 262/262L, BIOL 101/101L, BIOL 252/252L, BIOL/CHEM 430, MCRO 251, PHYS 114, and Level 3 of a Language (I don't have any levels). I would just like some recommendations on how I can best prepare myself while not making myself fail because I overload myself in the first semester. Some recommendations and advice would be much appreciated!!! I'm trying to get around 15 credit hours in order to be used to a good amount of classes.
