I didn’t think the first semester of college would be over so quickly. Compared to high school, it goes by so quickly. We also get much more freedom in college (not having to ask to go to the bathroom..) but for me, those are pretty much the only good things about college. There’s so much stress to deal with and for most assignments, I’ve been procrastinating until the very last possible moment . People say that your college years will be the best years of your life, but I just don’t see it happening for me, at least not anytime soon.
Hi Hui-Shan,
Don’t worry! It gets better. You eventually learn how to make college work for YOU. Selecting content matter that’s of interest to YOU. Picking a schedule that works for YOU. Thus far in my professional life, I haven’t had the same type of liberties I enjoyed as an undergraduate. That said, I absolutely agree it’s a lot of work. Pacing yourself and practicing good time management should help.
And remember: work hard but also have fun 🙂
All the best,
Desiree
