Wanted to share how my first year at uoft has gone so far.
Being away from family has been hard, new country, new people. To summarize, I failed most of my first midterms, and motivation was always low.
I got sent to the hospital during one of my exams too and my health was deteriorating. I had to stay in the hospital for 3 days.
I also missed the gym for a month after that. Everything was going bad. Then I got scammed out of 2.4k dollars—all my money for the semester.
Now, I am slowly taking baby steps to success. I took my second midterm, and although I didn't do too well, I passed.
I started going gym again. I'm much weaker, but consistency is key. Even when everything is going bad, just put one foot in front of the others and the stars will align themselves. Just don't lose hope!
