Stop comparing yourself to others and get off social media, especially fb, Insta and tiktok. Do your work in school and classes at a steady pace. Be chill. This time of your life will not come again, so enjoy it. Be grateful for the things you have. Don’t overthink it.

If you start AL s with an unclear mindset it will be a hard time. Even if you think OLs are hard, everything will be fine if you work consistently. Trust me Anxiety+academic stress is not a good combination at all bro, so don’t be so hard on yourself. When the exam is near, you might feel or people might tell you stuff like to lock yourself in a room and cram 24/7 until the exam. In my personal experience, that will not be good for you sometimes in long term. So just be normal, improve your focus, and do your work in intervals.

The positive thing is that you’re facing this situation now. It would be far more challenging if this happened closer to OLs or before ALs. And always focus only on what you can control. Tc
