I’m a freshman, and I’m constantly overwhelmed. It feels like I’m a robot, with no time to think for myself. Classes back-to-back, followed by homework and studying, then showering, then sleeping, and then waking up and repeating the cycle. Some days, I feel like I leave my dorm completely exhausted and somehow end up sitting in class. It’s miserable. I’m depressed during fall break. I’ve just been in my dorm alone, with no energy to cry or do anything. I don’t even know who I am or what I want to do. All I want is to go back home.

I am a first year student hoping to apply to a dual degree program. I have taken ap calc ab in high school and have some trauma over the class. I signed up for math 1400 but wasn’t sure if it was right for me. I saw that my options were math 1400 or math 1070 and wanted to ask which would be a better fit for me.

I took AP Calculus AB in high school and took the placement exam, which informed me that I am above the Math 1300 level but just at the threshold of the Math 1400 level. Math is not my strongest subject, and even taking Calculus AB was one of my most stressful experiences (deadass grew white hairs). If anyone has any tips or advice for me, I would greatly appreciate it.
