Elana, I've had this problem before - everything seemed so overwhelming, I'd procrastinate feeling like I couldn't do any of it. Especially as it gets closer to the end of the course it felt like if I did it wrong everything would be useless and for nothing. I guess I felt like I was running out of time and it made me more anxious that I was procrastinating as I wasn't getting anything useful done!

If you're still having problems with this near exam time or an essay deadline I suggest talking to your course tutor as they may be able to give you some help - I know I didn't and my last year of university suffered a lot for it. I have a friend who spoke to someone and got an extension and in the end did a lot better and I still regret that I didn't do this!
