Only a few weeks left, but I hate every minute here. I feel like an imposter and bad person. I’m heartbroken that after 5 years I’ve grown resentful and jaded to education as a whole (I don’t even want to transfer to another school, I’m sick of it all). Sorry to be a baby, but can anyone offer support or advice on this? Thanks
