Hi everyone! My name is Zoe and I'm 21 and currently studying at university! I've had a tough time with mental health especially since the pandemic started. Hoping that I'll feel less lonely by joining here :)

    Hey @zoe
    I'm also at uni! What year are you in??

    Welcome to the Mix! <3
    It's good to have you here! :3

    @lovemimoon I'm currently in my second year (now going onto my third and final year). What are you studying (if it's okay to ask)?
  • lovemimoonlovemimoon Posts: 2,318 Boards Champion
    Heey! I'm in second year as well!
    I'm studying Illustration but I'm planning to put my uni year on pause to focus on my mental health. What about you? What are you studying??
  • Former MemberFormer Member Posts: 29 Boards Initiate
    @lovemimoon I'm studying chemistry at the moment (and might be hating it) oops-- I've recently deferred my summer exams to August because my mental health was just not doing great... This pandemic has just made everything 10 times harder o_o

    I'm sorry to hear your mental health has taken a toll... I hope things get easier for you and that taking a break from uni gives you a well deserved break from things!

    shouldn't have laughed as hard, oops

    How are you doing, mental health wise? If you don't mind me asking.

    @lovemimoon Hmmmm recently I've been doing okay thank you! I think the nice weather has really been helping, and it's not as daunting to go out into public spaces anymore so that's helped lift my mood a lot. How have you been?

    Hi @zoe
    I've been feeling a little rough lately. My mood has been shifting so much, I'm surprised I'm still here. I'm glad to see that your mood has been lifted! <3

    There's a general chat if you want to say hi to everyone - https://community.themix.org.uk/discussion/3596830/general-chit-chat-op-greentea#latest

    @lovemimoon I'm sorry to hear that you've been feeling rough :< I hope that you aren't too harsh on yourself during this tough period. It's okay to not be productive, it's okay to be sad, emotional, angry, upset. Your feelings are valid, and it's okay to have bad days <3

    @Apollo I play the piano and clarinet! Though it's been years since I've touched either instrument.

    @zaynab_5 Hello! Thank you for your kind welcome <3

    Hmm uni life is very difficult due to the pandemic, and online learning has been a struggle for me personally since I'm more used to learning things in person. Good luck w/ uni tho and I hope you friends/course mates with common interests!

    I really regret not joining any societies in my first year, so definitely at least give a few a go to see if you like any of them! It'll help you make friends too ^-^

    Welcome Zoe! <3
    “And when they look at you, they won't see everything you've been through. They won't see the **** that turned to scars that began to fade with time. They won't see the heartbreaking things that shook up and changed your entire world. They won't know how many tears you cried or even what it was you were crying about. They won't see how strong you had to be because you had no other choice. What they will see though is how compassionate you are because you experienced pain. What they will see is how kind you are because you experienced how cruel the world is. What they will see is how good you are because you've seen how bad things or people can be. The difference between you and your experiences are who you choose to be, despite everything that could have turned you cold and unkind.You are the good the world needs and the best of us.” ~ Kirsten Corley
