Stress Pie Chart

This week I have been real stressed out with all the work that I wanted to get done before I went back to Baltimore for break. I am excited to get a week to relax without worrying about classes and lacrosse. For this weeks blog I decided to use the stress diagram method to help me get through the week. I felt this strategy to be very helpful to me because I am a visual learner and I was able to lay out my top five stresses out in front of me. I am especially stressed out in my Religion and History class because I still have a lot of work left. We only have three weeks left in class and I have two big papers and a presentation left to complete. I currently have a low B in the class and really need to do well on these next for assignments so I maintain that B average. For my History class I have a paper due the Tuesday after we get back from Thanksgiving, which is our final paper. I am on the borderline of C+ and B- area and am really stressed out that if I do not do well on these assignments I will not get a B in this class. On top of those classes I still have to stay on top of CLS exploration project, which is due in two weeks. So I decided to write out my top five stresses before I leave for break. I have final exams 5th on my list because luckily I only have one final exam which is December 14th in Human Sex.

  1. Rel. Papers
  2. Religion Presentation
  3. History Paper
  4. Finish Fall Ball off strong
  5. Final Exam

Overall, I found this strategy effective and very useful because I am a visual learner and was able to write out my top five stresses and know what I have to really focus and do well on so once I accomplished the tasks I will feel a lot more relaxed.
