Struggles of being in groups

In one of my classes my professor put us into groups with other students that they think we will work good with. We've had the same group since the beginning of the semester. The first project went well. I wasn't worried about whether or not we would finish it on time. We communicated very well and aced the project and presentation. Unfortunately I feel like our communication has gone down the drain for this new project. Our project is due Friday and we still have to finish our ten page research essay, powerpoint, printing out all the pages and putting it into our book and preparing for our presentation thats on Monday. Im nervous because theres so much to do and I don't know if we'll be able to finish it on time. I try to be the one to remind them without being THAT person who bothers everyone but its a group grade so if they fail then I fail. I can't let that happen. Every-time I talk to my group members they either don't listen or say that they have other hom...

Near the end

Where has the time been? As we start getting closer to the end of the semester time seems to go by so fast. So fast that when I look back I don't realize how much I've done in such a small amount of time. Ive done so many presentations, exams, essays, midterms, projects in a matter of 4-5 months and its not even done yet. Because I go to school 3 days out of the weeks I have about 11-12 days left of school days. Its exciting to think about because once summer break comes I get about 3 months of no homework, exams and essays. It'll make the small stress that I have go away for a little. I shouldn't be thinking about that right now. I need to be thinking about the work that I still need to do. In English I still need to do another essay. In communications I still have an exam and project that I have to present in front of the class for 20 minutes. In chem I still have an exam and a final. Chem is the class that i'm more worried about and need to study more for. In my ...

Overthinking is not good!

In many of my posts I believe that I stated numerous times that I have been stressing and that my grades are bad. Also that I am not able to focus on school and that I didn't know why. I believed that my grades were slipping and I was scared because of that. However, recently I noticed that my grades were better than expected. A's or B's in my classes. I caused myself way more stress than I should've had because of overthinking. I realized that all I need to do is do exactly what the professors are asking us to do and turn it in on time. If I do all of that then my grade should be fine. Im a big procrastinator so thats what also causes me to overthink. Sometimes I do my work just before its due and I get a really good grade or its the total opposite and its not good at all. I received a B+ on my presentation for my communication class that I have mentioned before in my previous blogs. In all honesty I was overthinking that grade too. I was expecting a low be or high C, ...

School..... Again

Spring break went by in a blink of an eye. The only thing that I did this spring break was stay home, relax, and clean my house. Now that school is starting and we only have about 6 weeks of school left I hope it goes by fast. This semester has gone by so fast also. So fast that I realized that I don't know that much about Stan. I think I need to get to know my school more. Before today, the only places I knew on campus were main dining, the gym and the buildings that my classes are in. In my communications class my teacher gave us an easy day. She created a scavenger hunt that made us go to places and take pictures or get brochures/pamphlet that gave us information about the places. I spend all my breaks off campus or in main dining so it was good to get the opportunity to learn more about Stan. It helped because I was partnered up with one of my friend who is on her second to last year of school. She knew where all the places were so we got most of the items that we were supposed...
