Venting any uni students stressing out over finals?

[apearl]

I've been sleep deprived for the past week because im constantly freaking out over work I procrastinated. Even when I give myself time to sleep it takes forever to fall asleep and I wake up after a couple hours. I got multiple long esssays due all within days of eachother. And some tests I haven't studied for also. Currently putting off an essay I told myself I would finish today. Its not even like I'm enjoying myself when I procrastinate, the last month of procrastination I spend every moment beating myself up for not being productive.

It would be nice to hear that there are others struggling through finals too, its all I have been thinking about recently.

we're on the exact same boat here. i can't stop procrastinating for the life of me, it's insane. i feel like such a fuck up. spent the whole day doing absolutely nothing when i had all the time in the world to work on my finals. i wish i did something i like when procrastinating, like writing for example, but instead i just lie around like a bum scrolling on the internet, telling myself i should start working on it. i keep worrying about it, but its like im paralyzed and i cant really work on it until its too late. and when i finally work on them, i crumble under stress because there's just so much work piling up on top of each other. its driving me crazy. i'm getting sick of it all.

but depression + university is a horrible combo and its incredibly difficult to keep up with your studies when you're depressed, so don't beat yourself up too much. my uni doesn't allow repeating a year, but maybe yours can. you can always repeat a year if your procrastination issues get worse. and, if not, i have no idea how the system works in your country, but perhaps you can catch up next semester.

Me, my final just passed and my score is shit. i felt like i fucked up and i literally spent the whole day. even week doing nothing, i had all the time in the world to read the textbooks but i was too lazy to read and focus on it, i just ended up laying on bed doing nothing and now i'm stressed out seeing my scores being so fucked lol, i feel ashamed and couldn't blame anyone but myself tbh, having depression and being in university feel like it's stomping me way way harder than when i was in highschool. its suck to know that if you fucked up here, your whole future is finished.

My first exam is on Monday and I'm pretty sure I'll probably end up failing it as I haven't watched the lectures yet.

Only two more to go, so I'm pretty chill right now to be honest.

I'm deliberately missing out on finals in order to fail my classes, fuck up my GPA, and sabotage any hope of having a normal life from here on out.

Not that I would've done well had I tried lmao. I had a rough start to the year, and decided to skip out on midterms because I thought that I was going to finish with a piss-poor GPA anyways. I stopped going to lectures altogether as well, and have just been leeching off my benefits as a student at the campus—free gym membership, free Wi-Fi, etc.

I really shouldn't say, "The grapes are sour anyway," though—I'm quite dumb and male-brained for having done this, since I came to my university on a scholarship and had an internship waiting for me had I kept my academics up. Really just a grand waste of potential on my part, but I guess that's just natural selection at play.

I can't even bring myself to work on my papers, despite the overload of stress that I have about them.
