You are walking an unprecedented path, and while that may feel scary at times, just know that this path will eventually lead you across the stage to accept your diploma (or not, and that's okay, too) and into the next phase of your life. The resiliency you've shown already is admirable and will serve you well, wherever life takes you. Try your best, make sure you get enough sleep and fuel your body with healthy foods whenever possible, and above all, when things feel insurmountable, remember that there are so many people rooting for you! Reach out to your support system if you need to, and check-in with your friends who might be experiencing the same kinds of stressors. You got this! In the words of Nelson Mandela, "It always seems impossible until it's done."
