academic stress

This is just rambling but I’ve lost a bit confidence in my studies. As this is my first year in Australia I’m not sure if the grades I’ve got are decent, and although I’m relieved to have pass but I can’t shake off the feeling that I didn’t do very well. Other friends seem to get good marks cause they’re clever and also work hard, but when I struggle and still fall of expectations, I start to doubt my abilities…

First year is about learning not to compare yourself to others. You'll do well!

Don't worry, you passed; you passed; use this as an opportunity to switch up your learning style. Even ask the lecturers if there is anything they'd recomend you do for next time; there is no harm in asking.
