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.

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!

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.

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.
