College is ending in a few weeks and I’ve never felt so lost and scared.

I did my bachelors in environmental science and as much as I do love it, I don’t know if I see myself working in that field. I struggled through university and it’s honestly a shock that I made it this far. I’m truly not smart or motivated enough to be a scientist or researcher.

I compare myself to all my friends in the course and outside that have their talents and activities, many of them are pursuing science further and are doing research degrees. I’m mentally drained from my degree and I couldn’t be more excited to graduate, but simultaneously, I’m back to square one and I have no idea what my professional life is going to look like.

I’m going through a phase in my life where I’m not interested or passionate about anything. I have no active hobbies and I have no desire to learn anything new. I think it’s a mild form of depression because it happens sometimes and I always snap back, but it sucks to feel so useless and drained of life.

Anyone in a similar situation?
