I'm always anxious about my future

I really lack self confidence and i think that's just on of the reasons of my anxieties about everything. I'm in my first year college rn and my course is civil engineering. I'm not really good at math and i was overwhelmed by the fact that im the only person whose average in terms of intelligence. I actually don't know what i want in life or what i want to be in the future which kinda makes me feel depressed. The fact that I'm in a known private school that most people see as school for those who have privilege and my family's not even rich and the fact that i don't have scholarship really adds fuel to my anxiety. I cried for the past few days doing nothing.

I think that's a very normal reaction until you get acclimated to your surroundings and all and the courses. And if you're away from family that would certainly cause more stress. Don't be hard on yourself at this time. Give yourself time to adjust. You know you can do the work. Just don't panic and take your time, focus, and don't procrastinate when it comes to doing your studying and homework. That will just make things worse for you. You'll be okay. It's just a temporary adjustment. I believe in you. If it would make you feel better, it might help to talk to the school counselor and tell her or him how you're feeling. They can help put your mind at ease and give you very helpful suggestions. I will pray for you. Prayer does work wonders. I'm sure you're capable. It's just that you're panicking right now, but you will adjust. I greatly admire you for taking this important step. By finishing these courses, you will set your whole life up and never have to struggle again. Keep thinking of all the benefits. You will be independent and not have to depend on anyone for anything once this is done. God bless you and your efforts. You've got this! 💖 🤗🙏👍
