To all students struggling with lack of motivation and difficulty transitioning into Berkeley: know that you are not alone. You are not the first. You are not the last. I personally, dealt with lack of motivation, difficulty with classes (not because I didnt get the material, but because was depressed), and I also felt as if I was wasting the opportunities given to me at Cal. I was depressed & failing. However, I overcame those obstacles.And it was tough. It still is sometimes. Nevertheless, I faced it.Now I am happy, love my classes, and although berkeley isnt a walk in the park... I enjoy every bit of it. I beg you not to suffocate yourself. Pay attention to your mental health, its very important! Seek help, there is no shame in that. Put yourself first. Take a semester off if needed. Utilize the hundreds of dollars you pay for health insurance and see professional. Follow through with ALL the sessions. Believe that youre in Berkeley for a reason. And that you deserve better. Time is precious, you deserve to be happy every minute - every minute that you will never get back.
