anon… i don’t think you came to the right person 😬 if i had the means to shift programs, i probably would. the field is really competitive and already quite saturated. but it still depends on your mindset and how you carry yourself through it.

but you’re only in your first year. enjoy the program and explore it. don’t be afraid to ask questions when there’s something you don’t understand, especially about your foundation subjects, you’ll carry them with you all the way to senior year so master it as early as possible. good luck, anon!!
