Too much work!!!!!What if I can't cope

A lot of students feel overwhelmed and crushed by the workload they are expected to get through in a week. At the same time there are a lot of students who seem to manage without a care in the world. They even read books, play sport and visit friends. They are the annoying ones who constantly want to party or go to movies and who make you feel inadequate every time you say: 'No thanks, I have too much work'.

Everyone does not have the same skills and abilities and you may be among those who need more time to get things done properly and who is prepared to put your best effort into the tasks. Feeling bad or guilty or, even worse, stupid because you do things differently is not the way to go. Rather acknowledging differences, recognizing your own needs and allowing yourself the freedom to achieve good marks the way you need to do it is important.

Check on your systems - that your are being as efficient as possible, check on your balance - allow time for friends and family, even if it is a lot less than other people seem to have and enjoy the moments of success that your hard work and dedication brings. In the long run it is your goals that are important and achieving them will impact on your life alone.
