How can I continue doing well in College?

Question

So far I completed about twenty credits but i feel it's too much pressure and stress for me to handle. what should i do?

Answer 1

So many variables.... without a college degree you are pretty much doomed to low paying jobs... there are a few good jobs without a degree but they get harder and harder to find... it is so hard to stay motivated but one way is to talk to your college counselor about a work-study program or an internship that will give you some real work expereince WHILE you are getting college credit.... when you see what a degree can do - (ie.. let you do work that is FUN to do each day) you will find more motivation comes much more easily....

Good luck to you... and if you don't know any counselors... try your favorite professor - they usually know of lots of work/study opportunities or internships !!

Answer 2

study. if you keep up in your classes, you only have a little stress week to week, rather than overloading yourself in stress when test time rolls around.

and 20 credits? have you been going part-time, or did you overload yourself with classes your first semester?

btw, you sound like a freshman. just chiiiiillllll. if you're feeling stressed, try something relaxing like a bath, reading, working out, a nap. take your mind off school for a little while, then get back into it. you need to find some coping measures that work for you. I was pretty much always stressed, but I learned to cope by reading and napping. I also liked to hang out with friends a lot.

Answer 3

Consider dropping down to part-time, and if this is not an option because of funding sources or other reasons, then look for a few "fluff classes" (easy ones) to fill a full time status.
