School is getting stressful

<p>Man, so much homework and tests. Chem1A is also incredibly hard...I didn't realize it would be this difficult</p>

<p>I forgot so much chem, so I have to re-learn everything...and the book I bought from the bookstore isn't helping....</p>

<p>also, pretty sure I didn't do so good on the first lab quiz and I messed up the iclicker ones.....</p>

<p>fml</p>

<p>Uhm. School just started yo. It doesn’t get easier. Lab Quizzes and Iclickers aren’t going to matter too much in the end (unless you get absolutely 0% on all of them). It’s all about the midterms and finals</p>

<p>I know…sigh…</p>

<p>I feel like all I do these days is homework and go to class. no time to hang or go to gym or whatever…and i’m doing homework ahead of time too…but this stuff is neverending</p>

<p>take in spring like me!</p>

<p>what are you taking?</p>

<p>I always cruise for the first few weeks of the semester and get a feel for the courses. Then begin to act as needed. It’s probably more of a result of being a social science major.</p>

<p>If you’re feeling stressed, maybe you should hold off and take it at a later time. it’s hard adjusting to Cal as it is.</p>

<p>oh god, i actually LOVED chem 1a as a frosh.</p>

<p>wait till you get to taking bio 1a/1al-that clASS is a piece of work.</p>

<p>also, use the ASC. they’re ReALLY helpful.</p>

<p>Oh you freshmans…</p>

<p>amen. I AM STRESSSEEDDD.</p>

<p><.<</p>

<p>I might as well still be in the summer, but I’m told my classes turn into black holes later on.</p>

<p>if lecture is boring, just go ahead and sleep is what i say. and iclickers are a joke. not a good thing to implement in a freshmen class.</p>

<p>“Welcome to Cal: The university where your GPA is half of what you had in high school.”</p>

<p>^^ amen to THAT, lol</p>

<p>ah, geez lol. lectures aren’t boring…but the iclicker quizzes just come at you like that haha. and only like 30 seconds to answer meh. not very fun</p>

<p>heck YEAH it’s stressful! I almost went nuts today because my workload practically doubled lmao…and here I thought I could manage a booming social life (that I haven’t actually gotten yet) and challenging academics. Well…academics have taken over. I don’t think great social lives are easy to come by at Cal :(</p>

<p>iclicker questions for chem 1A start out pretty tough…i got 1 wrong pretty much every lecture. until october hit. I was on fire with those until thanksgiving.</p>

<p>In general though, the first two weeks of freshman year are the most relaxing and fun time you’ll have at Cal. You’re adjusting but you’re free and new to it all. Take it in stride you guys.</p>

<p>wait, so it just gets WORSE latter on?? :frowning: i thought it wouldn’t be too bad once i learn how to cope up with everything…</p>

<p>Didn’t I post enough responses telling freshmen that having a chillax schedule is the most important way to start off your college career?</p>
