My housemates are getting sick of me flapping around like a headless chicken all day everyday! I'm just really stressed and I seem to be getting nowhere!

Breathe.
Make a plan of what you need to do and for when, break everything down into chunks.
Take regular breaks where you get up and walk about for a bit.
Get to bed at a decent time and get up at a decent time.
Make sure you have breakfast and drink plenty of water.
I'm on for a long night, i have 1270 words so far for a 2000 word essay, and thats just quotes! without primary sources... got a lot of editing to do, and it is due in at 4pm this monday (or today depending on what time it is where you are)
There are times to stay put, and what you want will come to you.
But there are times to go out into the world and find such a thing for yourself.
I aint no abacus but you can count on me.
I'm starting to get snowed under all the stuff I need to do. I'm get there eventually. Decided I'm definitely taking a year out before thinking of postgraduate study.
First day back and the lecturer didn't even turn up to the lecture, it's no good emailing the students 20 minutes into the lecture informing us you're away on a research meeting today
Goodness I got all stressed about nothing in the end. Still bricking it about meeting up with my dissertation supervisor though
P.s. Congrats griddlebone on going to uni in September!
Some men aren't looking for anything logical, like money.
They can't be bought, bullied, reasoned or negotiated with.
Some men just want to watch the world burn.
I don't think I'm cut out for this whole university thing, I'm finding it harder and harder to get up and I thought the essay I'm working on was going well until I read the marking criteria and the want it at a publishable standard, 5 references from study material and plenty of others from own reading in just 1500 words.
If I have to do my dissertation, you're going to get on with that essay! Do you find that the biggest problem for it isn't so much finding the references but somehow trying to cut it all down to 1500 words? The punishments for overwriting make it thoroughly annoying.

I'm not as stressed as I was, I think I'm on top of my work now :)
And it made me feel better that people are struggling more than me and are more behind on the essays/dissertation.
good on you :) x
