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

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??
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!

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

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!

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 ^-^

I'm just going into my second year at uni! This year has been so hard, I think it's great you've pushed your exams back for your mental health - take great care of yourself!
