Now that I'm in my first year of college, I have no homework to fall back on for good grades. It's strictly quizzes, tests, and papers. At this point, I'm thinking of just dropping my Math class, seeing as I think I'll fail the course and drop my GPA, anyway. I was just trying to get into this school, but then they threw a scholarship my way. If my GPA falls below a 3.0 (4.0 GPA system), I essentially lose 7000 dollars per semester. That is incredibly nerve-wracking. What about you guys?

a moderate amount. It's not as bad as earlier years, though.

It stressed me out quite a lot, to the point where I ended up skipping classes. Ironically the fear of getting caught by my parents or the police stressed me out as well.

It hasn't yet. I was pretty nonchalant about High School, had a 90 avg. Now with University...I'm not sure. Haven't had a test or quiz or anything yet (haven't even got 1 mark returned yet) I think I'll be stressing a lot before midterms and especially finals though. If you fail a test you basically fail the course, so its kind of scary.

The thought of finals week stresses me out anytime I think about it. It's so scary.

It only stresses me out when I procrastinate too much.

it's not like a constant stress but when the stress happens, it happens hard. here's what i mean. when i took econ it was in a big auditorium class with a professor that had a thick asian accent (i don't remember what country he was from). but anyways i sat at the back, slept, and skipped class. accidentally skipped on a test day. luckily, he dropped the lowest test grade, but i didn't do good on the other tests and was failing most of the year. was failing going into the final but i did well enough to pull my grade into a D.

another time, in a pschology class, i skipped class one day (forget why, probably not anything important enough to skip class for lol). i actually went to the class before i started and asked a girl i sat next to "do we have a test today?" and she said "no" so i left. well that was the class before a break we had for something, i think it was spring break. anyways, i looked on the syllabus online and on the list of dates, it had a test shechuled to be on the class that i missed. now, earlier in the year he had made a few changes to the syllabus and i knew that but i didn't know what it was he changed and whether the test was one of the things. and even though the girl had told me we didn't have a test, i still was stressed and for the whole next week i was stressing about how i thought i had skipped a test and was going to get a 0 on it and really f*** myself.

but when we got back from break we had a test the first class.

i gotta say, i think that's one of the only times i was actually happy thad we had a test that day :lol:

It does stress me out, but I don't have that kind of pressure.

I don't see how that would make it any better.... if you're stressed out about doing well in school? Or is it just the school environment that stresses you out?

It used to stress me constantly. But now, it only seems to stress me during the first few weeks of school while I get the hang of things.

School?....stress?.....lol..........

Uni on the other hand. First year was easy but still stressful trying to make sure my grades were high enough to get into second year. Trying to manage my workload in later years was a bit stressful at times as well.

I don't get stressed. Just irritated and that irritation just builds up like tetris blocks.

I was bullied in school so it wasn't exactly a place I wanted to be.

Nowadays I don't stress anymore in school. During freshmen year it occurred to me that stress will kill me if I don't learn to take it easy.
