I have never been as stressed I am with classes as I am now. Due to COVID-19 colleges were closed which left school to stream online. The change was rather big, and at first I did not realize how overwhelmed I was going to end up. So if I haven’t caught your attention yet, trust me, if you feel this way you are not alone.
Part of my major is a writing and English sequence so a majority of my classes involve essays. I feel as if I haven’t left my laptop, and as I write this blog I am currently running on no sleep due to my allnighter from my English classes! I have never wanted felt as stressed as I do in school as I do now.
I strive to do well and I feel like I try to balance a lot which can be part of my problem, so again if you are still reading you are not alone ! How I handle my stress is by mapping out everything I am going to do that day. I feel as if I did this in regular classes but with the shift to online I am constantly feeling anxious because my email goes off every second.
trust me this blog gets positive…just keep reading ..
or swimming as Dory would say. (Que the laugh)
The positive feeling about this work is that after I complete an assignment I feel so proud. I almost feel like I annoy my father because he has never had to read more of my work than he does now. Every morning I come down and read him my essays because I feel so proud. I love when my father sees my work because making my parents proud truly makes me feel good.
I guess you can say I try to impress my parents, but hey who doesnt?
My dad rewards me with dinner everynight so I guess I cant complain about being home from actual face to face classes because although I am stressed I am finding postive in my stressed as I do always.
I guess its okay to feel a little overwhelmed because in the end it will all be worth it. I cannot wait to start a career and feel like I made it.
