Dealing With School Issues

VerticalDiscussions · May 28, 2015

Hey there guys , so ive been recently worried and uneasy about multiple issues that involve school progress and a quite expensive object. So exams are taking place in June, more precisely in the 17th "One that im not very concerned about" and 23rd "A mathematics one :(". The issue is that im also waiting for a period of time to be over which is when ill know if ill be able to receive the item i so much desired or the old one i had to sent away and terribly dont want back.... and honestly im always distressed of these goals above which are the exams. On top of that i have a very important school work for the 15th of July which has to be ready and is mostly so but still hard to finish and be ready to present it by that time. With 3 important tasks on hand and one where ill mostlikely fail for sure which is maths how am i supose to forget aswell about the treasured item i so desire and prepare or try to for the final exams which are the gateway for university or at least the continuation of the course im having right now. Mathematics is also discouraging to me since i cannot stay confident at something that without help cant be acomplished x-x. Should i forget abouth maths for now and focus on the other things? Thanks.

First off ... Make a list ... What's need to be done for each project . Then tackle them one by one . Make sure to make an efficient work schedule Or you could burst working everyday ... depends on your study style ...

Unless you have a learning disability, you just didn't study for math hard enough. If you want whatever it is you want badly enough, you'll do what it takes to ensure that you get it. What use is getting stressed over it? If you're stressed, you're not working, if you're not working, you're not doing everything you can to get what you want. Worrying is like praying for something bad to happen. I know, it's easy to just say stuff and we all approach challenges differently.

No. School should be your only priority. Now, I don't know how old are you or what kind of math you're talking about but I used to be somewhat like you. I hated math. For me, it had no purpose. Then, someone explained to me that the objective of math wasn't to teach us how to solve things like that but to develop our logic. From there, I treated math problems as puzzles and started to enjoy it. Maybe that's the case here?

I'm not quite sure what you mean when talking about the thing you sent off, however I know the feel as I just finished my IB exams, and some of the tests (particularly language based ones, where the test is up in the air as there are many unseen texts) got me pretty nervous...

Personally thinking about the thing you sent off will do you no good, and focusing on getting your presentation (the school work you talked about) done will put you in a better state of mind to approach the math exam you dread...

Also please don't just forget about the maths, because not thinking about it because you think you will fail, will just make it more likely that you will fail. Feeling mentally prepared, and being in a good state of mind (not overly/ unnecessarily stressed), plays a large part in having a clear mind during the exam, which will allow you to work at 100%
