Hi @BrianOUG
Fellow Uni student here! I’m in my final year and have experienced many of the trials and tribulations you are experiencing currently!
Firstly, in terms of the public holidays stuff. Just because it’s last minute doesn’t always necessarily mean there’s nothing you can sort out! I am also diagnosed with ADHD and although these times can be SUPER overwhelming it is TOTALLY doable! This might be unethical to suggest, but I have found when I am overwhelmed putting in my exam/final assignments dates into an AI (such as Claude) with what the marking rubric and getting me to generate a study schedule really helpful and somewhat stress relieving!
In terms of the group assignment, it’s always better to reach out later rather than never! Your tutors/lecturers/subject coordinators will appreciate that you reached out to let them know what is happening and how you have tried to rectify the situation. You have support all around you, just need to know where to look 🫶
As someone who has failed not one but 2 university subjects… one of them being twice, always reach out! I am on my third attempt at one subject and I wish that I had collected my Pokémon of supports sooner! I think it would have made a massive difference in my university studies and grades!
I would also like to know what you are doing to keep yourself sane during this exam season?
I am approaching mine and I always feel some off study days and time with my friends can be really soothing and keep me sane during this busy and stressful time! Please don’t forget to take care of yourself!
Wishing you the best! 🫶

Thank you for sharing your response @trying_my_best ...
I appreciate your response bro! I will try to read and reconsider to improve myself. Of course, My only hope is not to fail any subject just because of unclear instructions from others...
