Anyone got any advice for me? I thought I choose ASL 1A but I chose ASL 1b (I think I can still do it though), and I and also learning Spanish with a bit of knowledge in Spanish already, plus my main core classes. It's kind of stressing me out.

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Find people you can talk to. Friends, family, teachers, we all need support. That can be super helpful!

2. Consider a study group. Studying can be a lot easier and more fun with others. Of course, this isn't always the case, you have to find the right group, but definitely an option.

3. Have you looked into free resources available to you? Maybe it's a planner, quizlet, making your own flashcards by hand, supplemental reading, videos on concepts you don't understand, or asking your teacher for other study resources. This is fun because you may find a way to learn other things than just in class.

4. Plan! This sounds weird and cliche, but planning can save so much stress. For me personally, I buy a large calendar, and I write in different things that are due that semester (but month, or even week works well too) I like to color code them, but anyway the point is that at a glance I can see what I have going on, and major exams and stuff.

Additionally, another thing that has been helpful for me is to just look online and print off a free weekly schedule. I like to get one with boxes or rectangles for each day and then I write in things I need to do. At the end, I throw it away! That's a great visual for me.

5. Consider taking notes. This may manifest in different ways for you, I know I have some classes where I read the text and then take notes in class over my previous notes, I have also seen people take notes on powerpoints (if that is an option for you). There are a lot of different options for taking notes, maybe one of them could be right for you!

You could always invest in some pens, maybe colors you like or ones that are really fun to write with. Something that would make you excited to use.

6. Finally, remember to plan time to rest. I cannot stress this one enough. If you don't take care of your brain and give it a break, how can you expect it to function? Getting tired is normal, plan time to rest each week and don't think about school or things you need to do then. Remember that you are not defined by your school or grades or how well you're doing. You are valuable as a person!

Anyway that's all I can think of right now!
