Topics

so my first week back at uni is done. its been very stressful : got an essay back ( got a B grade ) which im happy with.

did a test- went fairly well although the lecturer told us someone has failed so im thinkig thats bound to be me

One of my best mates is feeling really down atm and i dunno what to do to make him happier and cheery like he used to be before the holidays

Im feeling so low myself rite now aswell. Im just wondering whether I can really do this and maybe its just to hard

Aww Chicken I think its normal to feel down at this time of the year.....January is notoriously a bad month. Just take it one day at a time and try not to look too far ahead as that can always feel daunting

I'm fairly certain you are suffering from what they call fruejarsmudgekeit (or summat like that mebbees) in The Fatherland. Early year blues. Think forward. Think positive. Think summer.
Either that or a nice Beef Curry onions with extra chilli oil.

Remember that theres people out there suffering from much worse things and that in respect you're lucky now thats an inspiration imo to pick yourself up

Chicken it sounds like you're having a confidence crisis because, like you said, you are out of your normal comfort zone. To get thru' it just change those negative thoughts to positive ones............a good way of doing this is by repeating affirmations such as "I AM GOOD ENOUGH". Try it for a few days and see how you feel but you have to repeat it at least 50 times a day

Sorry you're feeling down Chicken, try and stick with it. I hate January! I don't know why you think you've failed as you got B for your essay

totally agree with this CCM

we always feel we've done badly particularly with exams but you never know until the results come out. Getting a B for your essay suggests your doing very good so snap out of it young man and put a smile on that ickle face just like this ----------->

Poor Chicken. I'm sure you are doing fine. Have a chat with one of your Tutors/Teachers and see what they think. They might be able to help you find ways around the things you are having difficulties with.
Chin up and take it one step at a time.

Chicken, my youngest son is in his second year at Uni and is doing exams ATM. He says he sometimes has spells where he feels like he's out of his depth and wonders why he is doing the course. But it will pass, and you'll start enjoying things again. He says don't be too hard on yourself, it sounds like you are doing well.
Sending you a big hug, hun.

It's a difficult time of year. Hang in there,

If exams were easy there wouldn't be any need for them.Just keep at it my boy and believe me you'll look back this time next year and think to yourself what on earth was I worried about.

Don't worry chicken its completely normal to feel like this at this time of year

usually because everyone around you is stressed to the max with exams and its the big comedown from the holidays. It will get better sweetheart just you wait

This year I'm really struggling to keep myself together thanks to the added stress from my family, I'm fine in the day when I'm revising and I'm fine on the exam front but it gets me at night. Noone at uni knows this because of the big brave face I'm putting on.
