I totally relate to your struggle! It can be so frustrating to deal with excessive sweating, especially when you just want to focus on your classes. Here are a few suggestions that might help:
Wear breathable fabrics: Opt for materials like cotton or moisture-wicking fabrics that help keep sweat at bay and dry faster.
