Tldr: fuck me!

Ok this is only marginally dev-related, but I need to let off some steam as if I was valve. And this is, as I understand, the general purpose of this app.
So: fuck my university, I really love what I study, but the over all circumstances are far from ideal. In addition to that the pressure from the exams and the workload that is expected really stress me out to an extend where I suffer from anxiety and stress related health issues, which again makes me less able to do a good job, which again stresses me out more. This is an incredibly hard time for me but I am sure I will make it. Thanks for listening.

    Yep that'll happen. I took up drinking. Can't necessarily suggest that though. Probably coulda done better in school if I didn't. Maybe therapy?

    @projektaquarius thanks for the suggestions. As a big part of my problems will be solved in february when exam week is over, I don't think I need therapy just now. I can't drink because of my physical health. I will just go and study and work really hard. You know, as they say, work hard play hard. After february will be the time to play extra hard.

    Dealing with stress will be a big part of your future as a Dev... (If that is what you are aiming for...)

    College is hard and stressful by nature, you are expected to give 100% to every course you take.

    If you let it overwhelm you it will physically hurt you. Dismissing it for "when it's over" will damage you in the long run...

    My advice, manage your own expectations, then manage others. Get your bearings and learn how much you can handle at a single time. At first it will seam not enough but in time you will see that you can handle more and with less effort.

    Also, somethings are more stressful because you just don't like them and doing them requires a bigger effort. Focus more on what you really love and try to find something interesting in everything else... The job is easy when you are having fun...

    Learn to manage stress, expectations and workload. Focus, try to have fun and you will be one of the best!
