Question
I'm feeling really stressed. I'm about to graduate from college, but my last two classes are killing me. I keep having dreams that I've been forgetting to go to a third class and now I won't graduate. It's keeping me from being able to concentrate on the real classes.

The good part is you are giving your best and keep doing it. don't think too much about the result. These kind of dreams are the worries inside you.

It's hard not to think about the result when the stress is interfering with my studying. I don't know how to manage the stress.

I can understand the situation you are going through. You are working hard and keep doing it and try to mediate for few minutes in a day. Hope that will release your stress.

When I am in stress I do mediation and it gives me relaxation and a new way to think. sometime our body and mind need peace to work better.

I've never meditated before. I'm not sure how. I even worry about meditating, my goodness.

Mediation is just to concentrate on your breath. There are so many videos on internet. You can take short break when you feel exhausted and talk to friend and family for a while. It will help you.

Question
I know, only two months left! And I only had two classes left this semester, so maybe that's why I keep dreaming I've forgotten a class. Did you have a similar experience sometime?

You can do it I am pretty sure. Keep working on your goal. I had such kind of anxiety when I was in college. The best way to come out from it is to stay focused and calm.
