winter research
hey guys
so i have started my winter research project yesterday and it is NOTHING like i thought it would be like. im so overwhelmed and anxious about it, i dont think research really even is for me.
i know this is a mix of imposter syndrome and feeling stupid as, especially as im a bit burnt out after exams. I’m super grateful for the opportunity and I know it will be great for the resume and the experience
But im just really envious of those having an actual break, i thought id feel ready for this but I genuinely just don’t at all.
I don’t have it in me I feel but I just am stressing too much about it, also with grades tmrw send help.
I was thinking about dropping out of it but I I really don’t want to but also just don’t know if i can do it. The supervisor isn’t very present either and it all just feels confusing.
Anyone got any insight ?
