How to mentally prepare for a hard semetser?

Next week is a semester I have been worried about for a long time. Everyone Ik including professoers and smart TA's have told me it was the most intensive semester. I have tried to prepare for it on summer by going thru a few of the easier things. My plan was to go thru one whole course that I absolutely need to pass for prerequisite purposes which I didn't do because I also wanted to work on my portfolio. Besides I am behind due to me having to take a step back from school a big portion of last year due to sickness. That is to say I am not going to graduate on time, my schedule is complicated as I have been forced to replan it. There are tons of other things I need to do in order to graduate even a semester later. Don't wanna bore you with the detail. Rn as I am sitting, I can't stop worrying. Should I study more or chill until monday?

Maybe I am not cut out for this

I honestly am so tired. I don't think CS or any of it is for me which sucks after many years. I mean I never once had time for personal projects (yes I did some projects on summers but they were not complex). I always struggled like hell. From an A student in high school, Ive become as long as I pass over the years. I know friends double majoring in additional engineering program while working part time. I know others working half time in cs related fields while going to school full time and still get A. Everyone around me has had at least one internship and most people Ik work part time. I was on an interview last year for IT support. I thought why not but they said I had to be there 15h and 3 times a week and they don't care about exam periods. You can tell they wanted to hire me but I kinda ghosted them. I applied to join a project that connects different universities last year and I ghosted them after they accepted me. I applied to another famous society/ club in my uni with connections to many real oppertunities. I was scared I won't have time so I never went to the interview. Now I have an interview with another upcoming AI club with industry connections in my uni and parts of me is thinking this is a bad idea. What if I am not good enough? What if I don't have time?

Am I getting fired from my part time job?

I am a full time student and work part time in a grocery store. Last semester things didn't go well in my personal life so I had to study harder this semester which meant I slept less than 5h on average. I also changed and removed shifts especially may. I also know my performance has been pretty low and Ik people noticed. Boss told me she will set up a meeting randomly which has never happened to me last I was there. I had informed the person that makes the schedules long ago that I wanted to work on summer and they just said thanks for telling me (not okay). I have sent him a message about my summer shifts cuz my friends already got theirs like a month ago. He hasn't responded to me in days. I genuinely don't know if I am getting fired or in the process of getting fired, they have been ghosting me.

Should I check whether I am allowed to do the exam or not?

I forgot to register for my exam (is that even possible lol) and I can only take it if there are spare seats or no shows. I know how many students are registered on the course, which rooms the exam will be held in, and I can check room capacities during exam time thru room booking system.

I’m trying to estimate my chances so I know whether to focus on studying or prioritize other deadlines. But I’m stressed that figuring this out might either discourage me if chances are low or give false hope if they seem high. Because I can only calculate my chances and it doesn't always align woth reality. What should I do? Should I just go on the exam day and find out then?

TL:DR Should I estimate my chances of getting into an exam I forgot to register for, or will it just stress me out and not help me decide what to focus on?

I am ashamed to present my project

So I am working alone a group project because I couldn't find team mates even tho I reached out to ppl I knew whose group was unfortunately full then I posted asking if anyone wanna team up. I unfortunately was forced to work on a group project of 5 people all alone. I struggled a lot these past few weeks and managed to cook up something shit. I mean it qualifies but it is of horrible standard and a bit too basic. The feedbacks I got from the students that reviewed my paper was that the project was a bit too basic and they gave me bad grades. The presentation is coming up and everyone is going to go out there presenting their awesome project and get their A's. I on the other hand am already so ashamed of my research.

What are the chances I am going to get fired?

Long story short I work part time and I study full time. This week on one of my shifts my boss told me she has wanted to book a time to talk to me and she will set up soon. Out of my years working here I have never had a meeting with my boss. Anyways I had told the person that makes our schedule to put me in for more hours on summer and that person didn't say okay or anything, they replied thanks for telling me. It has been weeks and nothin on schedule. All my friends have gotten their schedule except me. I also know that I have not been a good worker this semester. Things happened in my life last semester and I had to work 247 in catching up so I come to work with 0 energy half asleep. I have slept approximately less than 5h the past few months. So obviously I know many noticed I am not doing a good job. Also I have had to give away shifts, change shifts and take lots of days off (not sick days). So what are the chances the meeting is about firing me?
