Trust me,college life is much more colorful than what u think about at the beginning... u don't have to read all nights,prepare fo quizzes all the time or be a slave to anything... 'cuz all these things will make u depressing,right? Just search for your own fun,do something u like ,for me,I'm much more free than before 'cuz I have my own thoughts and ideas right now... for me,as a college student,we should have our own thoughts according to our personal circumstances... so my advice for u is to relax yourself first,then just have fun with all your college life and leave less regret~ best wishes to u~

I am also a college student and know exactly how you feel. Life sure is tough in college and the hardest part is that sometimes even putting in your best efforts isn't enough. I get really depressed when I put in a lot of efforts for an exam and dont do well. But its all part of life. We have come to college for a reason. Put in enough effort now so that you dont have to repent it later. College life is what conditions you for the challenges ahead and you should take it seriously. You should also introspect and decide what you really want to do.

College life really is bound to be hard because that's your training in future life. Quizzes and difficult exams are always expected and the best way to get through such experiences is to have a positive thinking - always motivate yourself by saying "I can do this!" and surely, you would survive. Also try to ask for some help. There will surely be times when you think you're desperately hopeless but believe me, there will surely be some people out there willing to help you. Good luck on all your scholastic endeavors! I'm wishing for your success in college!

well my university doesnt give us lots of homework.what confuses me is the mass of free time.how should i make use of it?even though i am going to be a junior,i still have problem in arraging time.in ur case,i think you shouldnt blindly try to finish all homework,but choose the ones you think is worthy to be done.and listen carefully in class.understanding is essencial.

college for me is challenging. i never thought of it as hard. most of my seniors are always complaining so few years back (before i start college) i set my mind that i won't think college as hard but challenging. so everytime i stumbled on a difficult task, i though of it as challenging. maybe you should do that too. it helps

Think big, other wise it will make you suffer more in the future. The college life is only for 25% of your life. The Remaining 75% solely depends on the results of the 25%. So think big of your future make your studies useful and interesting now.

First off, stop procrastinating. We all have a tendency to procrastinate when we have to do something we don't want to. Easy for me to give you an advice which I myself can't do 100% of the time.
