I just finished my first semester of college and passed my classes both with decent grades. I didn't think I could pass my classes with good grades. I barely passed high school with a c average. So I was very stressed out going into my first quarter thinking I was going to fail but found out I wasn't cause i stayed on top of homework but should of studied better for tests. So with that said I'll be going into my second quarter toward the end of this month and I'm stressed cause I know my classes will be harder. So please if you have any experiences of how to not be so stressed out or how to be better prepared for next quarter please let me know.
I also will be starting another set of classes toward the end of this month. As far as not being stressed out, I think it is just what comes with the territory. I'm starting to realize that, because we care so much about doing a good job, it really gets to us, but because you care so much about it, I doubt you will just let it slip by you. When we really care about something, we do all we can to make sure it gets taken care of.
Take a deep breath and just take it as it comes to you. That's pretty much all you can really do. Hope this helps.
