Okay, so I’m a sophomore in college, studying computer science. I really want to do a semester abroad next year, but I’m completely overwhelmed. There are so many programs, and my university (State U) has partnerships with universities all over the world. The big things are: Academics: I need to make sure the courses I…
Okay, so I’m really struggling to focus during my online classes. It’s so different from being in a physical classroom, and I’m constantly getting pulled away by… well, everything!I’m taking three classes this semester: Calculus, Intro to Psychology, and Western Civilization. The Calculus lectures are brutal – they’re early in the morning, and it’s so…
Okay, so I’m working on a project for my Business Management class. It’s a HUGE team project, like 30% of our grade huge, and honestly, I’m kind of dreading it. Last semester’s group project was a disaster, and I really don’t want to repeat that experience. We’re supposed to be working in teams of 5…
Okay, so I’m taking this online course, it’s Introduction to Sociology, and honestly, it feels so isolating. It’s just me, the lectures, and the discussion boards. Everyone just posts their required responses and then disappears. No one seems to actually talk to each other. It’s not like a real classroom where you can chat before…

While we’re working with the school and a tutor to address his academic challenges, I’m really worried about his emotional state. He’s started to say things like “I’m stupid” and “I…
Okay, so I’ve been having a REALLY hard time staying motivated to do, well, anything lately. Work’s a drag, I can barely get myself to cook dinner, and all my hobbies have just kind of fallen by the wayside. Someone suggested I try exercising, saying it could help with motivation in general. But that seems…
Okay, so I’ve been getting really anxious before tests lately, even when I feel like I know the material. It’s not just normal nervousness. Like, I’m talking sweating, my heart races, I can’t focus, sometimes I even feel a little sick to my stomach. And it’s not just big exams either, it’s quizzes too! I’ve…
Okay, so I just got approved for a grant from a local foundation to help expand my small community garden. The original proposal was pretty specific: I said the $5,000 would go towards building a small greenhouse (around 12×20 feet), buying a specific type of raised garden bed that’s accessible for people with mobility issues,…
