Hey everyone, I'm feeling pretty lost here at UC Berkeley. I'm an anxious freshman, 18 years old, and still undeclared. Right now, I'm juggling English Composition, College Algebra, and Introduction to Biology. But honestly, my main struggles are time management, homesickness, and this looming imposter syndrome that's making me doubt every major decision. I feel overwhelmed with all the options for majors here in California. How did you all find your paths? 
Did you explore different courses or seek guidance from advisors? I want to make the right choice but fear ending up in a major that doesn't align with my passions. Besides academic worries, homesickness hits hard sometimes. Missing those sunny California vibes and familiar faces adds to the stress of figuring out my future. How do you cope with homesickness while navigating college life in this bustling Berkeley scene?
Overall, I'm just trying to find my place in this sea of majors and emotions. Any tips or personal experiences you can share would mean the world to me. Thanks for listening
