Update on dead roommate kid
So you might remember me from here:
tldr for that: dead roommate, dead grandpa, dropped all classes. freaking out.
Well to update on that, someone from this reddit thread reached out to me and recommended I talk to a caseworker. After setting lots of things up for withdrawal, I decided against it after getting back into my classes with the help of my caseworker.
I stayed in therapy for about 3 months and I had a psychiatrist as well for 3 months. I also spoke with CAPS.
Coming out of the semester, I have ended with straight A's in every class, including Math 104 which was pretty hard. I won multiple hackathons. I successfully got into an REU. I worked a job 14 hours a week, and worked on research for 10ish hours a week.
I really hated Berkeley after transferring here but I've started to deeply love the kind of person it has shaped me into and the resilience it's instilled into me.
Thank you guys so much for the support, I think the response I got to my original post was what really made me keep going even at my lowest.
And above all,
GO BEARS!!
