college has only started a month ago and i'm already burning out...
do you get more "situated" so to say with the workload or does it just stay hard day to day?

depends, what's your major, or your area of study? what kind of school do you go to? those things play factors
most classes in the science curric. at a general university just require going to class, takin notes, studying. reading the book usually is not necessary. that's just 1 person's experience though.

you get used to it, sounds like it might be your first year? I just concentrated on doing my best one day at a time and that's all you can really do

yea I came to the realization this year that I seriously need to only concentrate on today and what I can get done at the moment freshman year I constantly had useless anxiety about getting shit done weeks from when it was due

something I notice that everyone does is kill themselves taking hard as fuck classes. Take 2, at most, of core classes a semester. And then fluff your schedule with bs humanities that you're either interested in or that you've heard are ridiculously easy. ONLINE classes... be all about them. Shit man, does your college have correspondence classes?? I don't know how it works over there, but you can take some classes as correspondence, email/mail you hw in and take the tests whenever you want within a 2 semester period.
And the first semester always blows. I ended up dropped 2 classes that were killing me and then in the spring I got my shit together. But it seems like that's the common trend with me anyhow... not dropping 2 classes, but fall always seems to be harder than the spring...
Just fuck around when you can fuck around and get your shit done little by little.

It stays hard and stressful. Taking only core requirements this academic year doesn't help. When the semester concludes it feels like what I imagine would be if one was withholding a season long orgasm.

The first semester is the hardest. You're still getting used to things and you have to take a bunch of survey courses, which in some cases are a lot harder than the upper level courses. A lot of them are known as "weeder" classes too, so they're particularly hard. You get used to studying at the college level though and eventually you'll find a good balance. Once you're able to take classes that you actually want to take and once you get further into your major, it gets easier. Don't worry about it Plus you're in Irvine. That's gotta be a blast! My cousin just started there as well.
