Hello. Academic work can be overwhelming at times. I am sure that with the right strategies you will overcome any obstacles, though. Could you tell me what the issue is in particular?

It is perfectly fine to feel stressful whenever an important assessment is coming. Make sure that you try to be as prepared as you can. When you feel capable of doing well on said exams, you will feel a lot less pressure.

That is a good idea. Do you personally recommend anything on how to balance my schedule and still be able to have my time to do other things?

When I was at college, I usually aimed at 2 hours of studying everyday (+ homework) and I also aimed to have at least 2 hours of leisure time.

I see, and how were you able to maintain a healthy lifestyle with enough sleep and healthy eating habits during college?
user

I honestly didn't eat very healthy. If you live with your parents, I think a proper nutrition is easier. I usually slept around 7 hours each night. I picked most of my classes on the afternoon, worked out in the mornings.
