So I have been in college for a little over 3 weeks and I am already feeling overwhelmed. I was pretty smart in high school. I graduated with a 3.8 gpa, and got most of the material pretty quickly. Now that i am in college I’m struggling with a couple of my classes and I feel generally confused. I have been going to review sessions and it has been helping, but I’m still skeptical about the first tests in those classes. Also, i feel buried by the amount of homework, and assignments due. I know they said college was a lot more work than high school, and I was prepared for that, but its only the third week if classes and I am drowning in homework. It gets to the point where I am so busy throughout the day that i can only manage to eat one meal a day. Also i can never get enough sleep. I find myself staying up to about 1 am trying to complete assignments. Now none of these assignments are procrastinated, I just like to be ahead on my assignments. Even on the weekends when I am suppose to layback and go out to relieve stress, I constantly find myself worried about assignments at 12 am at a party. Is there anyway to relieve this stress. I am going home for labor day weekend so i am hoping that can get my mind off of the stress, but is there anything else i can do ? Thank you.
