Question Going from 5 courses to 4- realistic? Help.
Realistically, could I drop a course from my fall term right now and be fine if I take a spring course to make up for it (then do the same with winter semester) so I graduate on time.
I am a third year psych student and I am struggling insanely with a lack of motivation, focus and burnout. I cant bring myself to study for my midterms this week. I cant focus. I feel like I cant do anything because I am paralyzed from the stress. My main stressor is the course needed for my specialization, it has wayyy more requirements than all of my other courses combined. I dont necessarily need this specialization I just thought it was interesting.
I think in my mind the only solution is to ease my course load, I get that this would be a mark on my record but I think its better than failing anything. I thought about doing the same last year but I pushed through it, but I dont think I can this time around.
Is this a horrible idea or is this logical. I havent spoken about this to anyone so I am asking here first, apologies for the rant.
