My guess is you’re doing a PhD with some lab work, which was what I experienced myself. I totally feel you, what you’re going through is the first-year dilemma of grad school. I too questioned my life’s choice quite often in my first year and almost got into depression because of imposter syndrome. It will get better with time as you learn how to cope with it (time management is the key!) In the worst case, if you find your PI unbearable, talk to your program director about the option of switching to another group. Several friends in my class did that and they were in much better places afterward. And if this helps you, I’ll tell you my story. I dropped my PhD program after 3 years and graduated with a Master’s. My PI was great and I love my lab mates but I always felt unmotivated while doing research. I tried everything I could to boost my interest in daily lab work but nothing changed. I finally decided that enough is enough and left. I’m now doing another Master’s in a completely different field. My new program includes no lab work, no TA, no PI, only courses that I care and I can’t be happier. Please know that grad school is definitely not for everyone and it’s ok to walk away if you feel like you can’t do it, just make sure to get credited for the time you spend there (like getting a Master’s). Cheers!
