I am having trouble managing all 7 of my college classes and extracurricular activities.
Partner responded very quickly
No, everything ran very smoothly
The words wrap weird, would be nice to see entire words instead of linebreaks in the middle
Hi, how are you doing today?

Not too great, honestly.

Oh no, I'm sorry to hear that. Is there something in particular that's wrong?
assistant
Question
I am struggling to keep up with all of the assignments in my classes and I am anxious that I am going to fail some of them.

That sounds really stressful
assistant
Reflection of feelings
It really is hard to manage

Are you in a program that lets you choose your own classes?
assistant
Question
Three of them were required for majors in my year, unfortunately.
user

Oh, that's rough. I've had classes before where I had to take them but had a lot of trouble. Do you know anyone in the class? Maybe you could try studying with them and see if they can help.

I have a couple friends in the same classes but there is so much material it is hard to find any time to get together.

It sounds like you're overwhelmed by all of the things expected of you Sometimes schools have programs that can help with this sort of thing, like student support services, that might be able to get you extensions on assignments, or move tests around if they fall on a similar date.
assistant
Restatement or Paraphrasing,Information
That sounds like a great idea but I am not sure if they will have any sympathy for me.

You might be right, it depends on the school honestly. It might not hurt to try though if you're really overwhelmed. Another thought is to try talking to your professors or TAs? They might be more sympathetic than you think.
assistant
Providing Suggestions
You're right. I guess it would be worth the time and effort to at least ask. That is probably better than just suffering.

I've been a TA for classes before, and even though I sometimes can't do too much to change assignment deadlines, I've always been open to talking to students about their struggles. It helps me to know who to keep an eye on and give extra attention to. Are you feeling any external pressure from your family or advisor to do really well?
assistant
Self-disclosure,Question
I don't really have much of a support system. I really am just trying to self motivate.
user

That sounds so hard, I think it's awesome that you're trying so hard on your own. Just the fact that you're in a program in the first place is really impressive.

assistant

I know it's hard, but I think you're going to do a great job! And even if you fail a test, it really doesn't matter in the long run.
assistant
