1. Overcoming Inadequate Feelings as a First-Year Student
Episode description
"One month into my first year at Queen’s, I wanted to drop out and go home.
There wasn’t anything wrong with Queen’s. In fact, it was the opposite: there was something wrong with me—or so I told myself. Early in the year, I decided that I was wholly inadequate and unqualified to be a Queen’s student, that I was a simpleton destined to toil away in mediocrity for the rest of my life, and that I would never thrive at this university because everyone else was better than me."
In the first episode of How To Be a Student, AMS President Jared Den Otter reads former Journal Assistant News Editor Luca Danetta's postscript, "Overcoming inadequate feelings as a first-year student."
