Maybe I'm just not cut out for this
A page in the diary "The Daydreaming Student of Life"

I've noticed a trend in my life as a university student. It all seems great at first but then once the assignments are close to the due date I always feel like I have no idea what to write (especially for independently written essays that are over 1000 words). The thing is though, that it happens for every assignment! Its almost as though no matter how early I start the assignments due to other commitments in life (like for example TAFE studies at the moment), I find that I'm left in a panicky state close to the due date.
And I feel like an idiot at the moment, because I should be working on my take home exam that was due on Friday which I did not get an extension for, and I've hardly done it.
Now I'm also worried about TAFE as well, because there are assignments associated with that that are nearly due as well and I haven't looked at them because I've been concentrating on uni.
I remember once I looked back at all my previous entries in this diary and I realised my studies seem to be a huge source of my problems. Even my parents have hardly any hope that I'll ever gain any qualifications despite being both a uni and TAFE student.
I mean, really, if I were not to complete my studies why study in the first place? Don't get me wrong, there are many positives to being a student, but I don't know if I can handle it any longer.
