It’s so hard for us as first years .... I totally relate to the crying everyday not motivated. I don’t even have internet hotspot is all I have and that still cuts me out . Stay Strong !!

[@fionamcnamara3462]

It really is 🥺 same with me I only have hotspot and it can be so dodgy! Thanks for commenting I hope you are well and you can get through this! Thank you, and stay strong as well ☺❤

Hi fiona. Good luck with your studies. I know life can be hard especially when you have to struggle with mental issues. Believe in you and trust yourself and all will turn out good.

[@fionamcnamara3462]

Thank you I really appreciate this ☺

With the course I was doing I had to do zoom meetings/classes during lockdown too and yes it was a miserable situation as the lack of actually getting up in the morning and actually going to the college and all that structure made it hard so I completely understand why you've been finding it as difficult as well but the tunnel might be dark, long and seemingly never ending but it does end and there is light at it's end

[@fionamcnamara3462]

I know exactly what you mean Tadhg, thank you for this!☺

I find online college really tiring aswell. It’s a struggle in the way that when it comes to certain modules that I struggle with online lectures can be tough

[@fionamcnamara3462]

It is very difficult, I know what you mean! I have one module in particular that is just horrible online and I wish was in person! You can get through this, thanks for watching and commenting 🥰

I had an online clinical placement and all it did was kill my motivation , put up my heating bill and make me sad 😂 I NEED human contact. Feel terrible and ive been snacking more due to constant lethargy like you mentioned. And now the gym is closed ! Wanting to pull my hair out honestly.

[@fionamcnamara3462]

Thats exactly how I feel 🤣😪 my motivation is non existent and its very hard to bring it up! Human contact is so important, especially in college cos it makes the process easier and more rewarding in my opinion! The gyms closing is awful 😪 so many people rely on them for their mental health etc! I know same here 🥺 hang in there we got this ❤

Yeah, online is shit. My college course (Engineering) is particularly ill-suited to online learning. Little to no practical stuff in it. The social aspect however is by far the worst part of online. While at least academically, it's easy (though not great), it's very hard to make friends in 1st year due to this. I still haven't really made any yet.

[@fionamcnamara3462]

I 100% understand where you're coming from. I can imagine, engineering is something you need to be there to do as its hands on, I csnt even imagine how shit that is for you! Im doing social care and that is mainly theory anyway! The social aspect is hard, its hard not really knowing anyone and its hard turning off your laptop and the feeling so alone. Hang in there you've got this! How i talk to people is we all created a groupchat, then I would talk to people more in my tutorial group! I hope this helps ☺
