Falling behind at university making me want to ctb

[5er50ji]

I get so anxious when I see how far behind I am with my uni work I find it comforting to know I can just ctb and none of this will matter. It's a bit fucked up that the prospect of death is the only thing that calms me down

Ah shit. Yeah, the dread is crazy when we miss out that much. I'd like to say "take baby steps" and "take things one at a time, starting from what you find easiest/like/have interest in first" but with the time ticking, it is hard to do so.

Have you ever tried productivity tools like Notion/ClickUp/Asana? I find them quite helpful in listing down tasks and progress. You do, however, have to set them up and that also takes time. My best go-to is Notion because it works more like a note instead of a complete project dashboard.

This is how it looks like btw. Mine is just messy because I am a messy person. This is me learning how to do Excel Pivot


Also, you got any study group you can rely on for answers? Borrow friends' books and notes?

Thanks so much, this is so helpful, I was nervous posting thinking people were gonna tell me I'm a piece of shit lol. I'm gonna try this, I'm so disorganised and I just know I'm gonna forget things if I don't have a system in place. Luckily I'm in my first year and I just need to pass, I got good grades last year autumn so hopefully even if I don't do as well but pass I can still carry on to next year :( I isolated myself so much I don't really have friends at college. I'm gonna download notion, thank you!

Go get those extra credits! Good luck, dude! You absolutely can try other platforms too if Notion does not work for you. Platforms nowadays do require some amount of payment to work fully. Asana is like that, unfortunately.

I hope you get to slowly make friends along the way too. It was kinda hard for me to find people to talk to too but we kind of bonded over group works and assignments. If you have time for tutorships too, do try that. That's a good place to start finding friends too. The best way to talk to other people is to find a reason to talk to other people and I find that our college subjects/office assigments are a good fuel to the fire.
