Dealing with stress

[maahi]

these days i m feeling a lot of stress. i feel that i should not even be wasting a minute and when i waste so much time i feel very guilty and i keep thinking about what portion i could have covered had i not watched tv or wasted that time in any other way . like most people i have  to manage my bachelors course and prep simultaneously but i m nt getting how manage it . so much time gets spent in colg only and then there is a stress of test and exam preparation . there is also stress regarding the no. of seats in every colg.there are just so few in relation to the no. of students and its heartbreaking to see that just few people's dreams actually get fulfilled and its just one chance that you get coz i know my parents won't allow me to waste one year . then there is a tradeoff between resting ,entertainment and studying and all are important and needed . i don't know how to strike a balance between them and optimize . can anybody help or advice me on this ??i 'll be really grateful .

Hi Maahi.. :)

I don't think studying 24*7 would surely fetch you a seat in any college. You must relax and do the things which you enjoy, apart from just studying all the time.
Don't be stressed about the number of seats and all..If you'll do the hardwork, you'll definitely get through a good college. But if you'll think negatively then the motivation and incentive to work hard goes down. So, better BE POSITIVE and give your best shot.
Also i would suggest to make a schedule of things which are to be done for entrance and which are to be done for your college studies. And do follow it.

Smile!! :) :)

Hey Maahi
The best is to , instead of spending time watching t.v, try to go for  walk in nearby park and relax..
You can also try to get up early to study around 2 hrs for entrance and in the evening you can do your college work

All the best !
