hi there
i was actually having a pretty tough day. i received academic warning today… thank god, and this is the very first time in my life!!!i am currently a rotman commerce student. although some of my friends didnt do well in economics either, they did well in management. so they only got one course to worry about while i got two! i didnt do well in either management or economics! i know i shouldnt compare myself with anyone, but still, this situation quite worries me.though i use little time to have fun such as hanging out with my friends, i’m not a nerd who studies 24 hours a day.i went to all the lectures, took notes, studied when i got back home, relax myself when i felt tired, reviewed before tests like everyone did, sometimes i even used more time to review for the tests but still i got pretty low marks.after all, my life in university is like: eating, sleeping, studyingi really no idea what kind of ‘good study habits’ i should have… i really try hard to adjust my time reasonably so that i can study hard while keeping my body healthy…
i know i really BS a lot……. but i really have no idea about whttttttttt should i do now… :'(pls help!!!!!!!!!!!

Yo Lost B,
You might want to try this. I know you’re not literally pregnant, but maybe a little with the spawn of U of T.
Or yoga! The main thing is just breathe for a moment. You can’t change the marks you got in the past. You need to focus on the future ones.
The transition from highschool to university is tricky for everyone. You either have to deal with academic, emotional or social adjustments.
Here are some things that might be of use to you:
You can try these, but I think the best thing for you to do is to go in and make an appointment with an academic advisor at your registrar’s office. From what you are telling me, you are doing things right (aside from stressing) so there might be something more you can fill the advisor in on.
Although academics are important, the social aspect of university is key to keeping a balance in life in general.
eternally imbalanced,
