I'm stressed about my final grades and ongoing pressure to do well academically. I don't know how to motivate myself, as I'm too afraid of the outcome.

Question
I'm feeling really stressed about university, to be honest. I'm really struggling to find motivation to complete my assignments And it's stressing me out how little work I've completed even though deadlines are coming up.

I'm in my final year, having to juggle my dissertation with what feels like a million other assignments

Oh goodness, I can't imagine how stressful that would be. I've only gotten my associates, and I found that last semester to be a slough. But what kept me going was the relief and joy I would feel once I had that diploma in hand. Are there any study groups or classmates you can get together with, and basically make a night of it?

I don't really have any friends on the course, I'm pretty shy and don't really feel comfortable talking to anyone. I kinda promised myself to make more friends in my final year, but obviously circumstances have changed :/

Very true, this year made everyone's expectations and plans go out the window lol It might be time to put yourself out of your comfort zone, but start small. Are there any clubs or groups associated with your major? That way, you have some common ground to work with.

I'm honestly not sure, I guess I've always been too nervous to reach out to anyone. I'll have to have a look.

That sounds like a good idea =) Even if you can't hold club meetings on campus or have any gatherings, maybe they hold their meetings over video calls. One plus side to that, is that you don't need to have your camera on to participate.

That's true. I also feel a bit nervous about my final grades, I've done well so far but just feel like this year might mess everything up.

That's understandable, especially with how the past year has been. Everyone is on edge and everything feels so uncertain, but that's okay, because you're not alone =) You said you're doing well so far? Take pride in that, and focus on that. "If I've been doing well so far, I must be doing something right. I'll just keep doing what I have been, and everything should work out in the end."

Yeah, I am really proud of what I've done so far but it just makes me worry that I won't meet my own expectations

We can be our own worst critics, and that's never been truer than when we're facing a challenge. Self-doubt can be such a pain, but when I find I'm having trouble believing in myself and working toward my goals, I'll focus on what I already accomplished, and that helps give me that extra push to keep going I might be an internet stranger, but I'm proud of you, too. =) You've got one and a half semesters to go! You've got this! I believe in you! <3
