Just sharing a little bit of my daily school life struggle. Sometimes I am just lost, honestly, I think it's either the teachers are going too fast or I am going to slow. When I try to catch up on this one subject, I get totally lost on these other ones. And then when I try to catch up on these other subjects I completely get lost on the previous one. It's like I can not be on time on all of the subjects I have to study. It's like I have little no time to get all things done or just study them all. I don't know what to do to change this. Also I've fallen in a deep procrastination, but I am keeping going. I am trying to overcome procrastination which is not easy at all. And I am aware that it's not going to disappear all of a sudden. It takes time, effort and mostly discipline. However, my current struggle is that I am actually lost in most of my subjects and exams are just around the corner :/

I was the same way as you. I had trouble with procrastination. The key is to set time blocks and grab notebooks and pens that you would want to use on a constant basis. Most times, we just don't know how to manage our time so it can seem overwhelming. It's also good to take breaks every half hour or hour to not be bored. Being bored will make you want to procrastinate even more. Overall, you can do it just don't allow yourself to be so stressed.
ReplyYou should be proud of yourself. As an instructor now myself, I can see you're putting in the work. You care and you're trying, and that is so clear to me. When you struggle, the best thing you can do—and I know you don't want to hear it—is to reach out to your instructors. I promise, this is your best path forward: they can help give extensions, set up meetings, or just be there for you when you need.
I'll happily give an example here. During my time in university, I was in a language course of less than ten people. By our third year, everyone spoke the language practically fluently—except me. And it was so clear; bright 45% markings would be on every exam (which everyone saw) while all my peers got 93%+. But I walked out of that class with an A-. I asked my instructor at the end why she would give me that grade, and she said it was because I gave it my best.
When you're struggling, your best may not be the same as everyone else's. My best was showing up to every class and doing every homework. That doesn't need to be your path. That instructor told me it was the fact I always met with her to check my progress and clear up questions that made her so impressed. Show your instructors you care and want this—that is your next best step.
I still get drinks with friends from that class. They have never judged me for my struggles; rather, they have always been supportive and said they were encouraged by how hard I tried and always kept my head up. Bravery will take you far.
So, tl;dr: you're doing good, kid. You should be proud. Ask for help and be courageous. Struggling in school is never a reflection on you personally. Your instructors will be so happy and ready to help you. After all, what are they getting paid for?
Good luck, kid! And sorry for the extra reading, you're probably getting enough of that in classes.
ReplyActually, thank you very much. I will keep that in mind. I am just one of those students who are always afraid to ask in front of the class, so that is also kind of a problem. But I will try, thank you again!!
