This was so me my first week or two ...This was me! This was so me my first week or two of college. Although I'd taken a course or two at a local community college during high school, so I knew what the classroom scene was all about, I felt sooooo overloaded and overwhelmed when I hit full-time college. In fact, I went to my adviser's office my second week and cried and cried and cried because I was convinced I could never meet all these goals and read all these books and write all these papers and do all these projects. <br /><br />However, I learned after I felt similarly overwhelmed at the beginning of the next semester, that this is a by-product of having to read through 5 or 6 syllabi in two days. So Many Papers! So Many Projects! But you've got months and months to do all that, and often a paper or project will get ditched by the prof -- a syllabus is often more of a "here's what I wish I could get done this semester" list than what will actually take place.<br /><br />Three back-to-back classes can be pretty rough, though -- maybe tuck a granola bar or other protein-filled snack like nuts in your backpack to nosh between classes to keep your mind sharp and your energy up?<br /><br />Most of all, pray, eat well, and sleep. And remember what Rachel Lynde told Anne of Green Gables: The sun will go on rising and setting whether you fail at Geometry or not :-)Hamlette (Rachel)https://www.blogger.com/profile/11961916847426233995noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5053850179984172096.post-81752803071381544092015-08-26T23:31:58.288-07:002015-08-26T23:31:58.288-07:00Awww Karis!

I'm hoping and praying that it gets better for you sooner rather than later. :-) O week at my uni has optional events nad not too many compulsory ones which is great but tiring. Do you live on campus?

Teachers have been expecting so much for me that even though it's only been a week and we've been given the bear minimum for homework, I'm just wondering when things just start to get a bit scary... I'm quite terrified.n O-O I'll be praying that your classes will be going a lot smoothly; stay strong! <br /><br />xoxo MorningAbigail Lennahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00629691351291882685noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5053850179984172096.post-21944885968102580942015-08-26T18:19:57.831-07:002015-08-26T18:19:57.831-07:00I am so sorry you're having a rough start to c...I am so sorry you're having a rough start to college. this makes me sad.
