anyone else can't fall asleep cause they constantly have to think about goth mommy feet

I know comparing yourself to others is stupid, but ETH really makes it hard not to. There’s ALWAYS someone who seems to understand everything immediately.

Hope someone can relate but I feel so behind. I started my bachelor in math and I have the feeling im not made for it. Physics im just not good at it and in math I have the feeling im to slow. is that normal ? does anyone have tips on how to learn efficient.

How do people find genuine friends well into their studies?

Question to TA‘s: how do you prepare your lessons (Physics preferably) efficiently? And do you write on the blackboard or just show slides or beam your tablet to the wall and write there?

anyone else struggling with drg addiction?

Do you get lonely living alone? Living away from home, without friends, in a place where you could disappear and no one would notice for days? How do you deal with it?

How to get motivation to study? During and after lectures, and at the uni I feel somewhat motivated, I plan what topics to go over again, etc., but the second I get home it is gone. I didn't do any studiing related thing at home this week, and I know that, this is clearly unsustainable.

First week. I miss my home, my old life, my friends and family… I hate this city— it feels like some kind of simulation of what really is real, everyone here seems strange, i kind of feel like it will be impossible to really build a life here. I cried today, sobbed in the bus. When I reached my home i bursted out. On the flip side I don’t feel any academic pressure— there’s just the weight of this tern and horrible city that says nothing to me.

i'm struggling a lot with the social aspect of this. it's not like i expected to have close friends after only one week but i can't even find someone to sit in lectures with. i guess having to travel back and forth between my home and zurich makes it more difficult... it makes me feel like i'm missing out, because i can't comfortably stay in zurich for any social events knowing that i still have a long way home, notes to look at, exercises to solve... and sleeping enough one of these days would be nice too...

Are any math/pysics/any corse of study students out there, who search some vegan friends to?

How do you deal with imposter syndrome?

First week hasn’t even properly started and I already feel like everyone else somehow knows what they’re doing lol. Anyone else?

wie geht ihr damit um, wenn eine bestimmte Situation bei euch eine körperliche Reaktion (wie ein Engegfühl in der Brust, Kloss in der Brust) hervorruft?

How do you deal with fomo while studying?

When i started at ETH i had a lot of trouble with my living situation: Basement Rooms with no windows, unfriendly roommates and an horrible landlord. But now, after moving 2 times, i have a really cool, (relatively) cheap place with lovely people which i can feel at home. So for every person maybe struggling with housing maybe take that as an motivation.
