I just started college earlier this month and already I've began to learn a lot of things about myself.

I've talked about how I've had difficulties concentrating and getting things done in the past. Here lately, I've been finding out that I don't have these issues nearly as bad when I'm at school.

Because of this, I have been trying to get the majority of all of my school/homework done at school. I spend countless hours at the school library which stays open until 9PM on weekdays and I get help from school tutors whenever possible.

I was able to pull myself out of a bad position this week when my first final essay was due. I got so overwhelmed with things that I didn't get enough done at school, yet, I couldn't get anything at home. I pulled through and got an A because I was able to have several hours to spend at school finishing things up.

However, what scares me is that if I start working and/or start doing more classes that take more of my time, will I be able to do as well as I am now? I already have difficulties with time management. All though I am improving, I still have that fear that if I take more of a load on than I am now, will my grades suffer?

Getting a 94 on a final essay after never having to do an essay anywhere near this big ever in my entire life and being out of school for 7-8 years is something that I am proud of. I don't want to lose this momentum and start doing badly because of me being inefficient with my time and resources or screwing something up.

Anybody else here have similar struggles?
