You literally feel like you don't have enough time in the day
You contemplate when you will have time to do anything. You have 5 exams, 4 essays, 3 presentations, 2 books to read, and 1 week to do it all! Being in college tests your time management skills. You try to find ways to kill 5 birds with no stone and then you just end up loathing in self-pity while still putting off your assignments. Oh, the joys of college...
You're scared for your life, your future, your GPA, and your sanity.
When you have put so much work in all semester, you can't just quit like it was all for nothing. Fight to the finish. You do a quick review right before the final. You add a few sentences right before you submit. You change your design on your presentation before pulling it up. Cross the finish like, even if it means you have to crawl!
Be in charge of your stress.
Even when you know how much you have to do and how little of time you have to do it, take charge and let your stress know who's boss. Plan every minute out and do everything you can to stick to your schedule. Make yourself be in charge.
Even if things don't go your way, life goes on.
Everyone has an off day. You might not get the grade you want or pass the exam you needed to, but you keep going on because life doesn't stop. If you have to take the class again, do it! If you didn't make the best grade, make better ones next time to make up for it. Life doesn't stop for a C on an exam or a failed class, so you shouldn't either.
You can help yourself by helping others.
Studies show that you actually learn more from teaching someone else, so if you lead a study group, you are helping other and helping yourself. Save some lives!!!
Don't stress about things that are out of your control.
Do what you can to do your best and don't let outside things give your more stress. You can't control everything, so just be in control of what you can, and let your faith take care of the rest.
