Uni is a whirlwind—lectures, assignments, group projects, work, social plans, and somehow remembering to eat. If you’re feeling like it’s all a bit much, don’t worry. You’re not alone. Here’s how to keep your cool when uni gets hectic.
1. Break It Down
Big semester ahead? Giant assignment looming? The trick is to take things one step at a time. Focus on what’s due next, broken down into bite size pieces, not everything at once. A to-do list can be your best friend—just don’t let it become a novel.
2. Ask for Help
You don’t have to do this solo. Tutors, study groups, even that one mate who somehow always understands the content—use your resources. Uni is tough, but it’s a lot easier when you’re not trying to figure it all out alone.
3. Make Time for Fun
If your uni schedule is all study and no play, you’re doing it wrong. Uni is the only time in your life you have this level of freedom to do what you like with your time. Balance is key—whether it’s a midweek trivia night, a weekend beach trip, or just a coffee catch-up with mates. Taking breaks actually makes you more productive (science says so).
