Currently in second year, it has been very practical and straightforward. We have already been given assignments, labs, tasks and group work to do and hand- in before a certain deadline. Doing all these things mentioned above and having a social life is very, very hard to juggle. Unless you are a good juggler then my outlook on the situation is to forget about having a social life for now until the work load dies down a bit or you have a lot of time to get the tasks and assignments done and handed in before the deadline.

I can imagine at this stage, you’re thinking this can’t be true… but believe me, IT’S TRUE! The work load piles up if you don’t get it started early. The earlier you start the assignments and/or tasks, the easier your life will seem. I like to say, “NEVER leave the work till last minute”. This is not good for you as it will cause stress when rushing to do everything all at once and it shows you are not in control of what you are doing. My friends and I say, “Welcome to Uni” as the work gets harder, the stress of getting things right is building. That’s the only disadvantage I have experienced so far.
Not all bad comes out of this life at university. There is a saying that, “good things come/happen to those that wait”. Overall, university is still great. It just has its moments that make you feel down. Don’t worry, after the assignments have been completed and handed in, you can rejoice and have a celebration party.
It’s not all bad and it’s not all about work, work, and more work. Everybody deserves a break and a relaxation period once in a while.
Some calming remedies that I use personally are:
· Use a stress ball- will draw all your stressful energy away
· Exercise or get fresh air and have long walks around (alone or with friends)
· Do a different activity (preferably something fun that you love to do)
· Listen to soothing music
· Call a friend(s) or family member(s)
