Am I just the only one?
It's nothing major - I don't want to kill myself or slit my wrist or anything. But just before big assignments are due and big exams are coming up - I get a surge of a low feeling.

I'm not sure how to describe it - but it's a low where you feel like you're trying to climb a fucking huge mountain with weights tying you down...
... Just emotionally draining. A hug can go a long way right about now...
I’m not asking for sympathy – I’m just wondering if i’m not the only one and if not – how do you guys cope with the stress?

*hug*

Yeah I'm doing an assessment now which is due tomorrow at 6pm. Have like 20 hours left to do. I also need to somehow get to Fisher library and back. >_<

 

[carrots please!]

and here i was thinking yr 12 was the struggle, fuck

*hugs you

just think of all your achievements up to this point, they must be many if you are at uni at all

 

[DownInFlames]

You're not the only one.

tbh that's why I buy starbursts like, every day.

Find something that gives you temporary happy feeling and dose yourself on it regularly till the holidays.

 

[Tulipa]

Yeah.

Uber stress isn't exactly great for the psyche.

I always just know that eventually it will get done and handed in. I rarely think about what needs to get done between now and when it's due but knowing that eventually it'll be over is always nice.

All amounts to an Epic fail.

Hey man, don't stress out like that over exams............They are just exams!

Also it's perfectly normal for you to be a little anxious about sitting an exam , Correct me if I am wrong but most students throughout the ages have felt this way.

No, you aren't the only one. Coping with stress; talking sh$t with tha boys, shooting hoops, whatever works for you.

Even Trajan gets a little worried about things from time to time.

Aww *hugs*

Dont worry, uni can do that to you. But trust me, once semester is over, and you see that you've actually finished and passed your subjects, you'll feel way better about yourself even if your marks aren't all that great. When i feel like that, i keep imagining how awesome and cool it'll be like once i graduate, you'll feel better about yourself when you feel that you are going to acheive something. so just think about that

Not a good idea when its chocolate I have eaten way to much of it this semester lol. Same with caffeine.

 

[~shinigami~]

Same here man, I am feeling pretty down because it's gonna be non-stop marathon of assignments/exams till the holidays so you're certainly not the only one.

 

[a.w.e.s.o.m.e-o]

*gives free bear hugs to all*

 

[blakegman]

i talk about myself in 3rd person.

 

[~shinigami~]

i blame my lack of time management.

Quote for truth.

 

[Josie]

You fail at third person.

And I'm feeling depressed right now, I'm just finishing a massive week with about 8,000 words worth of assignment stuff- just spent a whole weekend with my boyfriend and we studied for 8 hours each day, how romantic!

I'll feel better tomorrow.

 

[dm4n]

want a hug?

tbh uni is like this and the only way to overcome the stress is to do your work consistently which has helped for me so far

Currently I have one of those First year Group assignments so everyone can get on Par with the expected uni-standards.

... And not everyone is pulling their weight - which just puts more work load on others. It's gotten to the point where its too late to tell lecturers and tutors as well.

 

[Josie]

Oh, the joys of group projects.

11,000 word group report due in 2 weeks

Get used to it.
