Did it take you a little while to get into the swing of things in college?

Question

Please, I need some answers. I want to know if it's normal that I feel a little overwhelmed and stressed. It's only been my 2nd day of college. But I have so much to read..

Answer 1

Well, it really depends if you are in a community/junior college or in a university. If you are in attending a university I sadly have no help for you. However, if you are in community or junior college just know that it does take a while to get into the swing of things and will continue to each time you start a new semester or class. After a week or two you will become used to the reading, etc. Just hang in there, because it all gets better. Feeling a little overwhelmed and stressed is absolutely normal, especially considering that you are in an entirely new place. Everything will get better. Just give it time.  

Answer 2

It is very normal. I just started college too! And I have a lot of work to do too!!!!

Answer 3

Yeah, today was my 3rd day. I have to read a chapter from the English book, type a 1-2 page paper for English (this was only the 2nd day of English, and this were the 3rd and 4th assignments from English!) I have to read a primary source from the English book, and a whole lot of other things! It's a lot! I guess that's why I have a break time for 3 hours on Monday, Wednesday and Friday. Do you have any break times? You can go to the library to study then.
