How to deal with college stress?
Basically, this is what we called environmental stress. Yes, you experience a lot of change in your environment and it's a normal thing I know every student, including the good ones will have. So, what do you need to do? First of all, get organized. Make a daily timetable of your activities and be flexible. By meaning maybe you can have timetable (1) and (2) where timetable (1) is used in week 1 and 3 of the month while timetable (2) is used in week 2 and 4. The rational of by doing this is you get to fill in your time with useful things and make full use of it. The important part is that, BE SURE TO FOLLOW IT. Actually, you can improve your studies more by discovering the various ways of studying. The best method is studying in a group. Here, your learning will be faster where you could exchange ideas with others. About the fear, you should use the 'self-talk' method. First of all, don't use fear as your motivation to succeed but instead focus on what you want. Say to yourself many times the things you want while imagining them clearly in your mind. I should say, what the things the mind can imagine, it will be produce in real life. So, that's why you must be careful what you're thinking. Basically, you can talk to to your counselor. He or she will be glad to help. I also always went to see the counselors when I was in high school and college and it helped me a lot. I hope it'll help you too. Good luck!
Here are the steps you should follow:Meditate:Manage your social media time:We end up spending a lot of time on Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram etc. Alternatively, you can use Quora as a social media platform to spend your time on. You can include your subjects in the topics you are interested in, and read the answers.Complete the tasks one by one:If you want to achieve something big, break it into smaller pieces and then start completing them one by one. Here is the best speech I have ever heard on how to accomplish your goal.Take a break and enjoy the small things:Taking a break and enjoying the small things fills you up with positive energy. It is good if you like reading books, but when it feels you are not enjoying it, take some rest, do something different like watching a movie and watering the plants. This way you will again have the energy to start afresh.Share your thoughts:Sharing your thoughts is a great relaxant. Choose a topic you are interested in, for example, green energy. Now discuss it with someone. You can also discuss it on Quora. Do not worry about the negative comments. They will, in fact, make you stronger over a period of time. Here are the benefits of doing discussion:Gaining broad, multi-faceted knowledge cutting across several disciplines outside the learner's normal academic subjects.Increasing learners’ confidence, poise, and self-esteem.Providing an engaging, active, learner-centered activity.Improving rigorous higher order and critical thinking skills.Enhancing the ability to structure and organize thoughts.Enhancing learners’ analytical, research and note-taking killsImproving learners’ ability to form balanced, informed arguments and to use reasoning and evidence.Developing effective speech composition and delivery.Encouraging teamwork.

Because you are afraid of failing.Are these your overly high expectations of yourself? Or of others around you?Where did these expectations come from?At the moment school is ALL your life and it seems overwhelming. Maybe those around you are ‘doing better’ than you are at some things. So what?Contrary to many people’s beliefs, school isn’t everything. Some people do well naturally at school, and they get into the college they chose when they were just 14, and they pursue the careers the (or their parent) chose when they were in primary school.AND THEN, 20 years later they are into their second marriage, drinking too much and using prescription meds to get by each day.Why not just let the school thing just go the way it must? Give it your best shot, (because you can’t test your strength if you don’t) and just let it role out the way it must.You may not know what you REALLY want to do for another 10 years or so. Going back to school or college in your 30’s is increasingly easier to do these days. And when you KNOW why you are there and what you WANT to do, I guarantee you will do well at it!Just take it a day at a time. It’s a journey, so just let it roll out the way it needs to. And enjoy the ride along the way.If you have to, tell your parent/relatives/friends to back off and follow your own path. It’s YOUR life and YOUR journey.(Just make sure that whatever you do do, at whatever stage, you give it your honest best shot otherwise you won’t really know whether you need to change course along the way or not)
How to deal with college stress and the work ?
Tips - clear your mind, relax, and dedicate time to each topic / subject. If you need to go somewhere with peace and quiet, do it. Turn off the phone! Do not text / chat / surf.. just leave the damned thing off no matter how much it pains you. You can't live on the phone at work (which you will find out really, really quick in the real world) so you need to learn that now. If you are hung up with a subject, step back a bit, relax, and tackle it again. Still having a problem? Ask for help. I've been to college twice in my life. The first time was a major university where the professors did not care. I swear they went out of their way to stress you out. When I returned for a different degree, I went with a smaller community college where the instructors actually DID care and were happy to help. Honestly when they see you are truly trying, they in turn really want to help you grasp the concept. The biggest hurdle was getting over making a problem too complex. Remember that if you don't take anything else from this.
I'm always late to college?
I live far from my college and I'm late almost everyday there. Or either I always miss the first period. I feel really stressed and worried. Please help. I need to take this worry off me. I feel like I wish I could fly away in space and never come back. I feel so ashamed at myself. I don't like worrying.
Hey, I guess everyone feels that way in college. Some people even end up dropping out or engaging in drugs. From my experience, having friends helps. These are the guys you hang out with on a Friday evening as you drink some cheap alcohol (responsibly), dance, and later go to bed happy and exhausted. These are the same guys you visit the museum with on Saturday and discuss tomorrow's exam on Sunday. College is not all about passing exams or graduating;it's about developing oneself wholyly (if such a word exists).
All throughout high school and college, I stressed about my grades. I stressed about my future. I stressed about not being able to get a job after I graduated.It took 3 years into college for me to FINALLY stop stressing about school and grades.What changed?I got my first B.Now, I’m not all that smart. I just tried really really hard throughout school. And I always managed to get A’s.That began a cycle of perfection where I would expect A’s. And so I would stress and stress and stress. I would stay up until 4am to make sure that I got that A.But that led to an addiction of caffeine, not enough sleep, and a piss poor social life.After getting that first B, I wasn’t upset. I was relieved. I could finally stop worrying about maintaining a perfect 4.0, and instead focus on learning.The best way to reduce stress in college is to stop focusing on grades, and instead focus on learning and having fun. At least, that’s what helped me :)
I'm so stressed I feel like crying!?
Aw! Don't worry about it. If you want to talk extra, then you can always email mee. =] But.. honestly, I went / am going through the same thing. Its not exactly the homework , but I do understand what you mean. Its mainly just my school. They're very rasict.. and they're ALL so social, it makes me so out. Normally I need practically a month to be able to open up and meet new friends. But these people already have cliques. I dont have any classes with my best friend. And she hates the school so much shes transfering. My other best friend is catching up with her friends from her old school... and she ditched me, big time. But the wierd thing is.. I've stopped carring. Like, before I almost cried when I knew we were drifting apart, but now.. I honestly don't care. Last night, I visted my elementary school, and while walking through the halls i remembered every single memmorie there was. I started crying, because I used to say how much I hated it there, but now highschool has just made everything harder. I'm positive that being in this highschool won't make me happier. But I'm also sure that If i transfer, it'll juust be the same. And When i finally decided to talk to a boy, he walked away in the middle of my conversation. :\ Don't worry.. you're not the only one having a horrible school week so far.. All i can say is: hang in there. everything WILL get better. Time will heal it. Even if it takes four years,to become seniors, we WILL have our time to shine =] And abbout your teacher, just try to get on her good side. OR.. you could tryto switch your class. Your friend should have known better, and your other friend isnt a true one if shes just ditching you like that. Good luck to you, I hope you have a better year than I'm having =]
