<p>I'm sure you've all been there where you're pulling your hair out from the stress of going to Berkeley. I'll be graduating this year (yay!) as you can probably tell from my username...therefore, I'm really trying to make this last year count!! I'm taking 16 units all for letter grade and I'm shooting for A's in all my classes this year. I also work part time 20-25 hours, which eats up some time as well.
Since about the third week of September, I've had some sort of midterm/test/quiz every week and this trend continues all the way through November! In addition to that I have readings, problem sets, and other random homework. Basically, I feel like I can never get ahead and struggling to stay on top of everything and it's stressing me out...ugh!
Does anyone have any advice on how to get through some of these stressful times? What have been your experiences? Or, any help on how to stop FREAKING MYSELF OUT?</p>
<p>Any comments or advice would be appreciated :)</p>
<p>suchislifemyfriend…trust me, i am there with you :)</p>
<p>it helps to try to get away from school work at least for a few hours everyday, whether it be by browsing CC or going to the RSF or meditating.</p>
<p>i dont get those kids who study 23 hrs a day and then spend that last 1 hour eating (only to study while eating)…surely no one needs to study that much…if they are, they must not be studying very effectively those other 23 hours…</p>
<p>just find a balance and go with ittttt :)</p>
<p>I’m a tiny, naive little first year xD lol…But I’m totally getting you, in terms of stress due to something every single week. The biggest thing I’ve discovered (but have a hard time actually practicing) is 1) TIME MANAGEMENT and 2) NO BULLCRAP! If you tell yourself you’re gonna take time during the weekend to catch up, DO IT!</p>
<p>If it makes you feel any better, it’s 12:30 AM, I have a massive headache/migraine crap that won’t go away, and I have two problem sets due tomorrow that I literally have not even looked at yet. I will in a second. Oh, and did I mention I haven’t even touched the chapters that the problem sets are over?</p>
<p>^^^ Pulling an all-nighter?</p>
<p>Unfortunately :’( And my head is still killing me, lol, after 3 excedrin…</p>
<p>thanks guys, i feel slightly better…doesn’t take away the online quiz, problem set, midterm paper, midterm exam, and discussion posting i have to do this week :(</p>
<p>I would post a picture of hang in there kitty. </p>
<p>but i’d get modded.
I feel you though. I don’t think I’ve ever taking 5 classes before, and it’s a butt load of work.</p>
<p>Try to enjoy Berkeley as much as you can this year.</p>
<p>My last few weeks in Berkeley last semester were spent writing papers, writing my honors thesis, and studying for IB 161. I didn’t really get much time to enjoy the campus I now miss dearly.</p>
