Two Days Ago - Life is Hard but I still enjoy schoolwork?

Today isn't as stressed as I think. As a data science major trying to transfer to computer science, I took CSE101, CSE105, CSE110, and DSC80. I do receive a lot of hw deadlines, but I am not that overwhelmed right now probably because deadlines are still 4-5 days away from today.
No worries! Procrastination for Life!!!

HW's to be done

Planned Schedule for the day

(Probably useless. Plans are meant to changed. I don't follow plans, I just change them when I figure out I couldn't catch up with work)

  1. Watch all class recordings for today (Due to time zone difference),especially DSC lectures (12pm -3pm)
  2. DSC80 Lab & Project (3pm -6pm)
  3. Read CSE101 Textbook(6pm -7:30pm)
  4. Read CSE105 Textbook (7:30pm -9pm)
  5. Have Dinner and procrastinate (9pm - Sleep)

Yesterday- Life is Hard and I have a hard time procrastinating?

This day is extremely tiring. The deadlines are chasing me and I do feel the sense of urgency to finish my hw. Moreover, there's 2 quizzes two days after(announced just now). I tried my best to procrastinate and calm myself down, but it just doesn't work. The more I procrastinate, the more nervous I am. I tell myself to start doing work, persuading myself through my bs
- Diamonds are made under pressure, starting your hw at the last moment gives you the best productivity.

Today- Life is Hard and suffering, Let's hope I will learn to not procrastinate in the future

There's too much hw and quizzes to finish and review. Moreover, I have another meeting for another club, and I am responsible for typing out and brainstorming the meeting minutes. This is why I am still awake at 3 am, doing this lab as well as finishing up meeting contents for 11 am meeting.

HUGE WORKLOADS to be done

Feeling after three day stress

I am indeed feeling stressful right now, but stress might be an indication for me to confront problem instead of dodging it through procrastination.
What doesn't kill me makes me stronger, I am going to overcome this difficulty and develop more resilience and internalize those knowledge

Life is hard, but there are ways to make less painful. Be Happy!

Although life is difficult, a person's attitude can alleviate his/her circumstance. Personally, I watch funny videos to entertain myself. I laugh at people who fell harder at me (I know i shouldn't laugh at them haha! )

I also listen to music when I am depressed or confronted by academic pressure. I listen to both mandarin songs and english songs. Below attached is one of the songs I've heard recently(It's in mandarin!).

Looking forward to the future, I hope I can endure this academic-heavy quarter. I listed out most of my exams for this quarter, hoping to prepare for future tasks earlier and effectively.
