yeah I can see how you think that way, butttt you really should eat a little something just to have enough energy to keep goin\'. It\'s hard though, especially with stress and anxiety. Good luck on the papers! It\'ll feel good when you get them done.
OMG! I am going through the same thing right now! There are too many papers to write, and not enough time to eat. Good luck with all of it!
I\'m a senior in college and i completely understand what you are going through. Right now i\'m typing on this website when i should be working on my senior thesis. I\'ve learned that instead of getting yourself overwhelmed just focusing on getting one thing done at a time. Don\'t look at the big picture. Break up all of the work into small managable pieces. And focus on one thing at a time. There is only so much one person can get done in one day. Plus, in the grand scheme of things, does it really matter what grade you got on a paper. That\'s the way i try and think about it. Hope this helps...now i\'m gonna go work on homework ;-)
I\'m in that same boat. It\'s crazy how many papers I have to write and then there\'s all the studying on top of that for the every day stuff. I also work a full time job so I know a thing or 2 about the stress. I\'m the same way with eating, when I\'m stressed I just can\'t eat. I find just grabing an apple when you\'re walking out the door can help. Good luck with everything.
i could grab the apple....i just dont think id eat it...
