Hey everyone! I’m curious if I’m the only one experiencing certain emotions during this course. Sometimes I feel a bit overwhelmed, other times excited, and occasionally confused. It’s a rollercoaster of feelings, to be honest. I’m wondering if others are going through the same thing or if it’s just me being weird. Can anyone relate to this? What’s your experience been like so far? I’d love to hear your thoughts and maybe get some tips on how to handle these ups and downs. Thanks in advance for sharing!
As someone who’s been through several courses, I can absolutely relate to your experience. The emotional rollercoaster you’re describing is quite common, especially with challenging material. I’ve found that maintaining a consistent study routine helps stabilize those ups and downs. It’s also crucial to celebrate small victories along the way - mastering a difficult concept or completing a tough assignment can be a real confidence booster. Don’t hesitate to reach out to your instructor or teaching assistants when you’re feeling lost; they’re there to help. Remember, feeling overwhelmed at times is a sign that you’re pushing your boundaries and growing. Keep persevering, and you’ll likely find that these varied emotions contribute to a richer learning experience overall.

its normal to feel all over the place. wat helps me is talking to classmates and taking breks when it gets too much. hang in there, we’re all figuring it out together!
Hey ExploringOcean! Man, I totally feel you on this one. I’ve been riding that same emotional rollercoaster since day one of this course. One minute I’m like “Yeah, I got this!” and the next I’m scratching my head wondering if I accidentally signed up for rocket science or something.
You’re definitely not alone or weird for feeling this way. I think it’s actually a good sign - means we’re pushing ourselves, right?
What’s been helping me is chatting with classmates (like we’re doing now!) and trying to find the fun in the challenge. Also, when I’m feeling lost, I try to remember why I signed up for this course in the first place. That usually gives me a motivational boost.
How about you? Found any tricks to deal with the confusion days? And what’s been your favorite part of the course so far? Always curious to hear what’s clicking for other people!
