As the title says I think it is in my best interests to drop out of uni and try again next year. I have had a few problems that have really messed up my admittedly short time at my uni. To start I didn't get the grades I needed for dentistry, and in a rush decided to go through clearing for biomed, without thinking it through. I made the same mistake again in picking accomodation, I picked an over priced place with tiny rooms, where my only roomates are 2 international students who are brothers. To top all of it off, because of the pandemic, my social anxiety, which was something I could work through before and deal with, is at a point where I decided to go up the stairs to avoid talking to people in a lift. I know it's stupid but it's just enormously frustrating to have these problems, and it's just difficult to carry on, I was going to take a gap year, as a few of my friends are planning on it too, and I think that if I tackle a these problems one at a time, at home, I think that I can improve for next year and be more ready to go to uni.
I know it's a long message, but it's just so difficult and different to how I hoped it would be.
