While I understand the importance of maintaining academic rigor, the current workload feels overwhelming. The volume of assignments, projects, and readings leaves little time for rest, extracurricular activities, or even in-depth understanding of the material. It would be greatly appreciated if the workload could be balanced better to promote not just academic success but also overall well-being.

I had a great experience with the campus counselor while dealing with depression. They provided a safe and supportive space that was crucial for my mental health. I highly recommend this resource to anyone struggling.
