I'm starting to regret doing this assignment for a couple credits. It is just to damn difficult.

I store my cables in that cute little Chip, and when I saw how good he looked next to this spread I couldn't bring myself to take him out of the photo. A little glimpse of happiness in this hell of a revision.

Reading poetry in ancient Spanish is soooo enjoyable. Feels like I'm not even studying!

Lets talk about: pressure

You know how it feels. Studying as much as you are able so that you can feel worth it. Striving for perfection is your life motto and you truly believe that your marks are a precise representation of who you are.

Let me tell you you are quite wrong. That nasty feeling is due to the immense pressure that is put on school, marks and future.

I as a student who takes 11 different classes am often encountered by this misconception. It is discouraging to say the least and you end up overworking yourself so you can improve. Wanna know a secret? This only makes it worse. When it's time to face the exam you are way to tired to shine no matter how much have you studied. In the worse case scenario this huge pressure can even erase every ounce of motivation, and you might even give up.

However, pressure is not just evil. Some people work great under pressure. Is the overexposure to it that tricks our minds into thinking we cannot deal with the amount of work you are asked to do.

In the end, you are not your marks but they will be your best alley when facing a job interview. A little bit of pressure didn't hurt anyone but a lot will.

What are your opinions on pressure? Is it good? Bad? Or something in between?

I’ve been working my butt off in history so that I can stay on top of it next trimester. Hope it is worth it or I am going to be hella pissed
