Anyone else feeling like they cannot get ahead of this semester?

I feel like I am barely keeping up in some classes and am actually falling behind in others and it is driving me nuts besides the stress. So much to do and not enough time to do it. OY!

I hope this not the case for you but if it is, hoping it turns around for us all. Hang in there and good luck!

Absolutely. Seems like every time I finish something I get assigned something new.
For spring break I'm stuck with three assignments and two presentations I need to make. I'm really getting burned out.
Thanks for this!

Have you ever stopped to cut your losses and figure out what actually works for you? I remember when I discovered I just wasn't ever going to be a reader of textbooks so I quit trying to learn the material that way and started writing and interacting with other students and thinking about the questions and researching them rather than just doing the textbook reading in the way it was assigned.

Find what interests you or makes you curious about what you are studying and start from there and work out. Make your own problems with your papers and twist the assignment to work for you, rather than just being a literal translation of what you think your professor wants. It's your education, not your professors; what do you want to learn?

Have you discussed this with your teacher(s)? It may be something that one or more of them can help you overcome.
Thanks for this!

TINa96....Studying with other students or even with tutors has helped me in the past. It has given me another perspective and other ways to study with other ways to look at the material as well than I would have on my own. Perhaps this might help.

Umbral_Seraph ....Spring break is not going to be much of a break here either between trying to catch up and new projects and material too. However, I am going to try to make a point of doing something enjoyable, (on small scale though because of the time throughout the week) because surely need a break. Know what you mean about the burn out, am there.
Thanks for this!
