First off, calm down, take a deep breath… you’ll be fine! I remember my college was extremely hectic.. what I used to do in order to accomplish everything I needed to do, was every day I wrote a list of the things I needed to do that day (you can write the list the night before, right before you go to sleep, while you’re in bed). I’d give myself realistic time limits to accomplish each task, and strategically plan out each task so I could easily transition from one to the next. I know that sort of sounds complicated, but basically write a list each day with what you need to accomplish for that day. It helps SO much! Also, start drinking chamomile tea at night.. it will help relax you… no sugar though! Also, if you have any time left in your day, try to take up yoga or some form of meditation.
P.S. Throughout the day, when you’ve finished tasks, start crossing them off the list, this way you have a sense of accomplishment, but you also feel less stressed the more you knock them off the list.. sort of lifts the burden off your shoulders.. Putting it out on paper gets it out of your mind, which equals less stress, and more mental clarity for you to get the job done.
thank you so much its just that im not really good in stressful situations i barely graduated from High School not because im not smart, but basically for the main reason that its so much pressure and i get so nervous
It’s no problem! :) I understand… putting it on paper sort of relieves you of the worry, so you’re not left thinking about it all… yoga and meditation also helps with stress hehe… make sure you plan in some break time!! :) Good luck!
everybody falls behind, the trick is to now what you had to do, how to do it and pretend you did it! otherwise just do it on a weekend and say you forgot about it. then chill….like a hippie under a tree…chilling…bleh
lol what?

what must the speech be about?
you scared to do speeches???
a struggle in your life and you have to talk about it for six minutes oh it going to be bad yea i feel like everyone is going to laugh
well talk about your struggle to write a speech and public speaking? why do you care what the other people are gonna say or do?
i dont know its just a fear and normally im outgoing but not with people i dont know and this boy did a speech yesterday and the assholes laughed at him and it looked like he wanted to run and hide
I hope you all dont mind me, but i this blog and i said “finally im not the only one who’s behind too.” you see, im not a genius, but i use to be a great student, but now im diffrent.
if you dont know them dont listen to them and that guy who laughed, well when he does his speech then laugh at him.

youre so sweet honestly i couldnt thank you enough
i just dont want to be a faliure and just want to be something my parents can be proud of and i feel like im going to dissapoint them
well the first step to success is believing it. u have to believe ur self that u can do it. ur no different!
I know, majio sorry, ignore my comment.
But dude, you have to get it thru your head.
Like it or not you have to finish your college in order to get a job in the future.
In order to finish your college you have study and pass your class.
In order to pass your class, you better start to study now rather instead of wasting time to read our comments.

then start working on change.. like… doing hw on time with help… make study groups.
it helps alot if u have friend that can motivate u and keep u on track..

to tell you the truth all my friends are going the easy route taking time away from school and/ or just working for their parents
if u dont mind me asking where r u from? u said u wanted to go to penn state.
wat about people in class. make friends and class mates.
i am from chicago and my dream since i was 8 was to go to penn state… and ya i think i will try to meet the kids in class
I guess my struggle, is that I’ve been away from my family for 5 years. i was very motivated to go to school, impress my family and most importantly is to benefit my self.
but now its becoming hard.. i mean.. since high school i went to class, worked.
i use to play soccer. it was some thing i did to let out some steam and stress
are you in college right now and do you still play soccer if you dont mind me asking
yes i do.. i go to George Mason university and i played for the team my freshmen year.. i dont any more..
i have never heard of that lol ….. was it hard for you to adjust from high school life to college life
I mean I still play for fun but i stopped playing professionally…. umm.. high school was not as money demanding as college… so i worked less when i was in high school.. and George Mason is near D.C. ..or George town universty.
I went to UCSD, it was difficult. And I know Penn state is even more difficult.
So my point is you definitely have to study.
But if you stress it is just not gonna help.
Start with a checklist for the things that you need to finish.
Give each task a deadline. Make sure you finish it on the given dates
Slowly but surely you are going to clear out the list.
As far as dealing with stress, I would say go run. Not more than 30 min. Don’t burn yourself. But make sure you work out, do some cardio for 30 min everyday to release your stress.
Study in the library. It will help. You can concentrate better.
Study group.
Reward yourself when you finish your task.
