The Pressure of Tests and Coursework


Has this been a stressful term for me? It kind of has… It’s not that the amount of work we have to do is so unbelievably huge. The problem is rather that, personally, as a student, I cannot seem too plan as well as I should, and I leave most to the very last minute.

Starting uni this year I promised myself (and others), that I would give a 110% from the very beginning and no matter what, that I wouldn’t fall behind on my coursework. Did I keep that promise? Not really… I tend to struggle finding motivation to start on something. So even though I have done what I’ve been obliged to do, I could have done so better. I could have started earlier, could have prepared more, could have read more, and could have gotten a better result overall.

See, the thing is. I was planning on doing the accelerated route, if possible, as I am 23, sick of school ages ago, and want to start my life (saving a whole year at uni, would also be very beneficial on the money-side of it). Now though, I am pretty sure I can leave that thought behind, and just focus on doing my best. If I’m stuck an extra year, I probably need it…

So what is my plan for next term? Well, I just really, really need to find that motivation over the holiday. Then I need to do, like I said, my very best. Hopefully I won’t manage to bad J
