![]() Homework Stress In The Nighttime. This is something that I have been suffering with for almost every night over the month of this April. December and April are the months that make me go extreme insane in college because all my work piles up in endless amounts in these months. When I have too much work due at one time,my head feels like it is going to explode. ![]() When I am stressed, waterworks are constantly happening in my eyes, and it is not a pretty night time sight. There was one specific night last December when my stress reached a whole other level. I felt like school was not for me anymore because of the stress I was having. This was the night before my building brains final, and I am here to tell you my #messyandstressy story about it.The date of this night to be exact was December 7th,2017. I decided to meet my friend Brianna from my building brains class to finish up all of our assignments due at the grueling hour of eight am the next morning.From meeting each other at the Campbell library at 4 pm, I did not see the outside world again until the clock struck exactly midnight when it closed . ![]() From being busy with work and endlessly typing other school assignments there was just no previous time to sit and work on these intense assignments. Sitting at a table on the second floor with honey roasted peanuts and hot chocolate, my stress level was piling up by 6 p.m. “I can’t handle finishing these assignments, I do not know what I am going to do.” These were the words that I said to my friend about three times in that hour in a panic. With tears piling in my eyes because my stress was so high, I began to feel incredibility overwhelmed. The sick feeling of nerves in my stomach was distracting me from my typing my work. It was truly a terrible feeling to have when your planner kept reminding you in highlighted letters that three assignments were due the next morning. ‘'I will be right back”, I said to my friend with tears dripping down my face. "Are you okay?" Brianna said. With a fake smile on my face, I said "I am fine, just need a breather." Rushing to the bathroom for the break was the instant thought in that moment. My heart felt like it was pounding out of my chest and it was a fact that a break from my work was a must. Sitting near the bathroom, the first thing done was to call my mom. My mom is like my best friend, and she always helps me when I am feeling extra messy and stressy from my school work. ![]() "Breath deep Vicky, everything will be alight, I promise", my mom said. Calming methods gave me the courage to head back to my dell laptop to work more on my awful assignments.She told me something very wise during our talk too. These were to do one thing at a time and to write down everything that needs to be done! Thepositivityblog quotes on their blog that, "You’ll feel better and less stressed if you just do one thing at a time and Then you don’t have to worry about forgetting. And you will free up your mind for focusing on other things than remembering." (p.1)This thought did not even hit my mind because since I was so stressed, my thoughts were running a mile per minute in my head. ![]() After washing my face with iced cold water and grabbing yet another hot chocolate from the one and only Rogo, I rushed back tom Brianna to follow my mom's tips. My stress began to vanish a little bit thanks to my mom's helpful tips. Still, staring at a computer screen for the next few hours was torturous. Adjusting my ten page lesson plans to fit onto Microsoft word took up a good hour of my time as well. Trying to revisit the tips helped, but the work was still so stressful to complete. By eleven o 'clock, I felt that I did not have a single wave of energy left in my body. The homework was finally almost coming to an end, FINALLY. The next day was about to hit and I was finally able to hit that "shut down button on my computer" with finished work. Even though there was a sigh of relief , I still had a final to worry about in just eight measly hours. At this point, I felt that the best thing to do was to get a good night’s sleep for my brain to feel alive again the next day. Feeling like I could not keep my eyes open equals feeling more stressed and I did not need this before using my pencil to write endlessly in a blue book tomorrow. Work was finally over for at least a few hours, and my stress was slowly fading away from this awful night. This was thanks to what I learned from these helpful helpful tips. Let's all learn how to take the messy and stressy out of our night time's doing homework ! xoxo vicky. Categories All Early Twenties Night Time Stress Relief Stress Managment Teaching
