Who has the most stressful life in college??

<p>why would you ask the question and then say please don’t say engineers? It seems like you already know the answer to that. To be specific, I would have to say that biomedical, chemical, nuclear, and aerospace engineering are probabably the most difficult (which is why I didn’t pick them).</p>

<p>****, I am stressed out and I only have 1 final, and it’s in a gen ed course…History to be exact. Although my stress comes more from issues with my roommate, being pulled over twice in the past week, and relationships with people. Plus, I got that whole broke college student syndrome.</p>

<p>If anyone has tips on how not to procrastinate, that’d be awesome!</p>

<p>Excerpt that may be applicable to many procrastinating overachievers here:

A second version of the anxiety-based procrastinator is afraid of failing. (1) Of course, if we are self-critical and feel inferior, we will avoid doing many things, especially competitive activities. Not trying is a form of failure but not as painful as actually trying and failing. (2) If you have set very high or impossible goals–like a perfectionist, you are likely to feel overwhelmed. Perhaps that is why, strange as it seems, perfectionistic procrastinators often have low confidence in their ability. By procrastinating, such a person avoids, for the moment, the dreaded expected failure (and guarantees doing poorly in the long run). (3) If you dread finding out just how able you are (and having others find out too!), it might seem wiser to put off putting yourself to the test than to run the risk of trying one’s best and only being average. This is especially crucial if you believe a person is more worthwhile and lovable if he/she is real smart or talented. Procrastination, in this special case, may enable us to believe we are superior in ability (while another part of us fears being inferior), regardless of our performance. So, as you can see, procrastination may strengthen a person’s feelings of inferiority or superiority.

<p>Chemical engineers never get out. All the rest are busy too but we have the most work right now and for the last 2 semesters going. I think it will even out with EE who’s amping up right now.</p>
