I’m an EE major in college currently, and though I have an internship secured for this summer, and have multiple side projects, all my parents want to talk about is grades 😞 and it’s so mentally draining, I just want to graduate and move out already man

You are doing awesome! Parents do not understand how different college is now vs when they were in school. Grades alone, my dad was shocked to find out that most of my classes do not curve. When he went to school they all curved. You are doing great! Watch an episode of tv or have a sweet treat as a reward for all of your hard work!

For context: I’ve never been the best test taker, I go to a T30 university but I’ve struggled with classes and gpa since, and that’s been the main emphasis of what my parents have always discussed when talking to me, one time when I was home my mom just randomly said “there hasnt been a semester youve gotten straight As you know”. This kind of thing has gone for 3 years and I’m honestly so tired of it
