Truly Feeling Like WUR is the "European Hengshui"
Finally survived two exams! đ”âđ« This past week has been absolute hellâwaking up with dead eyes, rushing to Forum to cram, rewriting illegible stats cheat sheets, and sobbing over problem sets at 3 AM. đ I used to think I had decent stress tolerance (thanks to Chinaâs gaokao and last-minute undergrad exam preps), but this final week drained my soul. My friends and I just kept muttering: âIâm actually losing itâ / âThis is insaneââby the end, we were delirious, numb, and physically aching from sitting too long. đđ„ The biggest difference from undergrad? Back home, if you studied hard, youâd score well (or at least pass). Here at WUR, some courses have 30% pass ratesâyou either master everything or risk failing. No half measures. When asked if the struggle was due to English or the material, my answer: BOTH. ïżœ Though my English improved (no more frantic translating mid-lecture!), exams still hit me with niche jargon even dictionaries donât know. Worse? Some questions would stump me even in Chinese. But heyâI gave it my all. Now, itâs up to fate. đ Time to stop obsessing and enjoy a Paris getaway! âïžđ #Netherlands #StudyAbroad #WageningenUniversity #StudentLife #ExamStress #Erasmus #GradSchoolStruggles đźâđšđ
