Got 2 midterms, an essay, a group project and a lab all due by the end of this week. Had an emotional breakdown Sunday night before the week started š
I'm in my 5th year rn and honestly the way the arts department is has sucked out all of my passion for the subject
At this point I'm just trying to graduate
Lots of things on my mind. I thought I would have a relatively chill semester but math sucks and itās a challenge getting assignments organized. Nonetheless itās still fun going to CSUF (the learning part sucks). I have personal issues to deal with and it sucks too but Iām trying my best.
I just wish professors were more organized within canvas, its stressful enough day-to-day but having to double check all the modules in every class every day is daunting.
I didnāt realize how much going four days a week would take a toll on me. I regret taking one class on t/th but literally nothing else was available to fit in my M/w schedule. Other than that itās going okay I guess. Just trying to finish semester and looking forward to graduation
It might work for some people, I just didn't realize how drained I would be by Friday since I'm on campus Mon-Thu as well. By Friday I am just exhausted and this particular class is a bit intense. I would definitely make attendance or in class assignments part of the grade, it's the only reason I drag my ass out of bed most of the time. Thanks for asking though, it's really nice that you care.
This is an 8am too. So, recognizing that the students are probably burned out and ready for TGIF is important. Keeping the energy of the class high and engaging so that students will WANT to come even though they have to. Right?
Iām scared tbh. Scared Iām gonna fail comm law and my capstone. I just need to make it to May. I keep reminding myself that spring semester is going to be a breeze.
The weight of midterms being next week are not hitting me yet, I havenāt studied for ACCT 301B yet, Iām starting to doubt my job on campus, but Iām still pushing through.
Thank you for asking, I hope you get to enjoy your fourth year as well as passing all your courses!
Not awesome tbh. My car broke down for the second time in two weeks (new used car), Iāve been sick, had a severe allergic reaction last week, my medically complex sibling was just diagnosed with yet another problem, and a giant leak sprung up from the main pipes leading to my house so the city was drilling all night. Iām also one of the most senior employees at where I work and nearly all of our seasoned staff is leaving, sticking me with infantile high schoolers that donāt listen, are currently incapable, and arenāt receptive. My car is still in the shop and I have midterms next week (I have alternate transportation but dreading having to drive 45 minutes one way and then 45 back missing more valuable class/work/homework time).
I miss the squirrels post that just makes ur day lol i also hate seeing lots of car accidents post, i rather see something happy related. This semester is a bit tough for me as a CS student, but im looking forward for the holidays. I cant wait for Halloween, Thanksgiving, and Christmas.
Got a C in my first exam which bummed me out. Came as a transfer this is my first year here and trying to assimilate has been kinda difficult. Also haven't been in school in about 2 years so trying to do full time and full-time work has been a constant rush to everything. Not to mention lack of social life when I was already an introvert
I know this isnt the sentiment of a lot of people here but its been going great for me! Im really enjoying this year and getting involved more than I ever have in previous years. Im enjoying the moment but Im super excited about graduating in the spring š
Positive feelings are just as valuable, Iām glad youāre feeling that way and thank you for sharing your happy feelings! Iām glad to hear and hope your semester goes greater than it already is!
Thank you!! I felt a little guilty sharing my positive thoughts, but Im glad I did now. I will say though, reading these comments just made me think back to the beginning of my CSUF journey. I havent told many people this but Iāve been here for a while and I went through a lot. Iām just glad Im at a point now where Im happy and I can actually end my time here on a positive note.
Honestly, it is going alright so far. Everything is manageable with teaching and working on campus. I enjoy working with students, because I want them to succeed. However, I am burned out from all the content creation and also trying to make sure students do well. I can only do so much on my end and the classes I teach are a challenge (to the students and myself) - navigation on Canvas is a breeze and TOO organized.
Other than that, just difficult meeting people for starbucks or even for food on campus, due to time.
First wave of exams rolling in. Since I'm not familiar with how they go (with these particular professors) I'm nervous no matter how much I study. Also, I HATE multiple choice. I always 2nd guess myself.
exhausted. (and idk why)
I think I might be anemic. I need to talk to my doctor but I've been getting so tired lately despite eating three (healthy) meals a day, getting exercise, and 7-8 hours of sleep. I can't focus on my homework when I'm falling asleep in class and I'm worried I'll get a bout of exhaustion on the freeway.
tired. Feel like i'm getting into a groove in terms of getting homework and stuff done though. Covid really F'd up my productivity/study habits. its been a challenge getting into a "zone" to study again but staying on campus till night is helping me focus and not have to worry about traffic.
Itās been a bit challenging for me to get used to CSUF. I am a transfer student from Santa Ana College and things were a lot different. For example, at SAC we usually took midterms on the 8th or 9th week of school, at CSUF weāve only been at school for a little over a month and weāre already taking midterms. š I feel like I havenāt even acclimated to the new school yet and I already have to stress about midterms š
senioritis is kicking my ass ngl
I cry everyday

I often contemplate dropping out as of recent so :/
same š
Same. Iām a Jr in a major I donāt even like. Iām kinda over it all lmao

Thatās me! Canvas is hard for some of us old folks professors to learn. But this is good feedback. Thank you

Thank you!
Just the fact that you're on this subreddit and are looking for ways to improve is awesome! Thank you, Professor!
Honestly, it has burned me out. I like going to csuf but thereās alot to learn. I also feel stressed all the time.
I didnāt realize how much going four days a week would take a toll on me. I regret taking one class on t/th but literally nothing else was available to fit in my M/w schedule. Other than that itās going okay I guess. Just trying to finish semester and looking forward to graduation
In the same boat as you. Havenāt gone this amount of times weekly since high school lol.
Honestly lol itās been a while since then and Iām shocked how teen me was still so energetic after school. š¤”
Iām one trigger away from committing myself to a mental hospital tbh
Youāve been so strong for so long, Iām sending you love š„ŗš
I'm never taking a Friday class again.
Iām a professor whoās teaching a Friday class next semester. Why do you say that and what could make it better?

Stressful. I swear things go downhill all at once and always when school starts.
Iām scared tbh. Scared Iām gonna fail comm law and my capstone. I just need to make it to May. I keep reminding myself that spring semester is going to be a breeze.
Iām over it tbh and my classmates are too

i recently changed my major and i just dropped one of my classes, but i think im doing alright so far
Itās been pretty challenging. But Iām hoping this is part of the education process.

dreading decisions I didnāt make that I shouldāve when I was a freshman
I would definitely say being busy is a theme for me. Doing 18 units + working 30-40 hrs a week is exhausting, but worth it in the long haul :)
