New student kinda lost
Hi everyone. This post may sound dumb. But hopefully it reaches a kind audience.
I’m 26 years old, a sophomore at SBU. I am a local born and raised on Long Island. I had started at Suffolk in 2020 after taking a gap year then what turned into a gap year led to me taking months off from school.
I don’t want to make this long.. I used to come to SBU with my friends who attended here years ago. It was a lot of fun especially the clubs etc. I always wanted to go to SBU. While I’m no longer friends with those people, I just transferred in. I find myself lost. The age gap. The friendships. Not knowing where to go.
I’ve done all my courses online just fearing of being lost in general. I went in today to give my midterm and I haven’t sat for an exam in person since high school. I had so much going on through my head and I 100% flunked that midterm. I gave the most ridiculous answers.
Any advice or tips for moving forward.. or should I even more forward?
