School Advancement
- A couple days ago I was working on a paper for class. I usually procrastinate, but this was especially bad. I also haven’t been trying very hard in the class or keeping up with the reading at all because I don’t need to do well in the class to maintain my gpa and keep my scholarship. So I started the paper with the attitude that I didn’t need to do well on it, but then I left so little time for myself to complete it that I knew there was no way for me to do well. I often feel that if I can’t do my best on something, I’d rather not do it at all.
- Apply for the next semester of school and classes and being told I cannot accomplish my goal of graduAtion within the time and go a l have set for myself. This was frustrating because I intend to stick to my goal but now I have yet another hurdle to overcome to accomplish this.
- At school the other day, I had an oral presentation for my english class. I decided that I would go and play the guitar for my class. When I did, I became nervous, and much more than I usually would, since I was nervous I made a lot of mistakes. This is frutrating because I know I can play that song so beautifully and perfectly, and I wanted to show my class that I could, too, but when it came down to it, I was unable to show them.
- At school, I don’t know why, but whenever something goes wrong some people feel the need to say my name and blame it on me just as a joke. I don’t know why, but the idea that someone’s blaming something on me as joke and they know I don’t like it makes me want to scream at them.
- Dealing with my parents can be frustrating. Sometimes I get the feeling that they’re disappointed in me and don’t feel like I can handle myself. They say I’m throwing away my life because I got a high C in a class and a B in another. I know what I want to do in life, I know my dreams, my desires. But I always have more, I feel a constant need to be right. And when my parents undermine my ability to be right it hurts me, deeply.
- English paper, I hate english because it is so indirect and there could be a million different answers to one question. I like things exact and on point, eg maths or Physics. In Maths there is one answer and one only, there is no uncertainty with the answer. It’s either wrong or right. I also hate how it drags on over and over again.
- Figure out how to juggle school and home. Its getting closer to my graduation date and I’m having to spend more time at school to finish up some things. But the people who are helping me as far as watching my son don’t quite understand; therefore, not wanting to watch my son while I’m at school.
- For class, I have to write a paper talking about my spirituality. I don’t consider myself a very spiritual or religious person, but I still have to write a paper like I am a spiritual person. This is frustrating because I’m being forced to talk about myself through a spiritual lens even though I’m not a spiritual person.
- Handing in a term-paper on critical thinking and cultural communication. I had a hard time referencing relevant text from the curriculum. If I can convey an understanding of the subject and show that I’ve learned the techniques, it’s frustrating that I have to use a lot of time and space in my text to reference thoughts and opinions to other people (who the teacher is already familiar with), and what specific page, book and article I read it in. In some subjects and situations it’s useful, but it sucks to get a lower grade because of a technicality.
- How can I better myself to achieve my full potential to be the individual that takes control over every situation in order to gain the most success? What are new things that I can try in life to achieve the most happiness in myself and others? It’s been frustrating keeping up with school and maintaining the motivation to be academically successful when the school year is coming to an end soon.
- I am an exchange student and I have a counselor who is in charge of me. He told me Friday night that the next day I had to serve drinks at an event for his club and he forgot to tell me in advance. This was frustrating because I had gone to a late party Friday night and was going to be on a walking tour all day Saturday (the same day as the event) and would be in a parade all day Sunday, so I was counting on Saturday night to rest. But I just said okay and served drinks all night Saturday night and I made the best of it.
- I am auditioning for drama schools and had to practise in front of my parents, which for me, is more nerve wracking than performing in front of a panel of judges. It was frustrating to do because I was seeking my parent’s approval and support. Once I had performed it though, I don’t know why I was so nervous and frustrated in the first place.
- I am in a class with people who don’t pull their own weight and slow down the advancement of the entire class. This is frustrating because they obviously don’t share the same values regarding education as other people in this advanced class, so the rest of us are losing out because our teacher has to spend time answering their simple questions and disciplining them.
- I am preparing for an MBA interview. I am precisely trying to answer the “strengths and weaknesses” questions and to discover myself in the process. The frustrating thing is that there is too much of information available and it is confusing to determine which information is useful and which is not.
- I find it hard to find something frustrating. I’m not trying to boast or anything, but I’m in school in israel and everything is great. What I can come up with is, deciding what to do in the future concerning which field to enter. My parents are pressuring me for a decision.
- I had a Graphic Design project that involved sketching a cartoon and then inputing it into the computer to convert it to a vector graphic. I had to start over multiple times when making outlines on the computer by hand, because I felt the need to get it ‘perfect,’ or as close as possible. I spent hours on it, and while it was very frustrating at the time, the end result was worth it.
- I had to choose between doing Drama and ballet. Until now, I did both, but it takes too much time and I want to be great in one thing, not mediocre in many. Also, the drama teacher put me in the lower/ beginner group with a bunch of grade eights even though I have experience (last year) and find that I deserve better. The ballet teacher wants me to now come to class everyday, and to provide time for that, I had to leave drama. I was sad and disappointed in myself but I think it was the right choice in the end. Because now I have all the time I need to focus on my ballet.
- I had to do a long project for agricultural science. it was frustrating as it took a large amount of time to complete and I had a lot of other stuff to do at the same time. It was impossible to meet the deadline and complete the project to a high standard.
- I had to listen to several of my classmates complain endlessly about school, life, and a variety of problems that were completely trivial. Their negativity was so draining, yet for the sake of professionalism, I couldn’t just tell them to shut up. At the same time, we’re stuck in the same room together, so I also can’t just block them out.
- I had to sit and listen in class when teacher was lecturing us. It was frustrating because I knew the teacher was talking bullsh*t but I already caused too much problems in school so if I said my opinion I might be expelled now.. and the longer I stayed quiet the bigger was my urge to say something offensive, but I did not wanted to be mean so I looked out of window and tried to breathe.
- I have to chores everday and it’s tiring after a long day at school. Having to deal with mean people in my life that put me down. Having to starve my self because my family say i’m too fat. I don’t deal well with a lot of pressure all at once.
- Im still in highschool, though I find everything I do exicting theres still some factors that I truly don’t like. from all my subjects I love civil technology,i think its the whole idea of inventing new structures that keeps me on my toes, seeing im way better the the theory part instead of the practical.
- In the past few days at school I’ve had to deal with a break up. This is frustrating because it came out of nowhere and it really hurt me. I was depressed for a long time and still am a little depressed about it. It also frustrating because I thought the relationship was going great.
- Laundry, driving to and from school and appointments, dishes, even social media now… all of these daily tasks are so mundane and boring and tedious that it is so hard for me to do them….but eventually they pile up and become mountains that I have to catch up on and are so much larger to overcome…
- Most frustrating thing in the past few days was my Fiance bugging me to talk about how I was feeling when it was 11:00 at night and I had just finished a long day of school and wanted to go to bed. I was frustrated cause it was the wrong time to try and do that and I have told him so many times before and he says he knows, but then continues to do it.
- One of the things I was frustrated with was manufacturing a color chart to gauge which colors were primary colors and which colors were either tones, shades, complimentary, or auxiliary colors. The reason why the task frustrated me was that I didn’t know if I was going to succeed on time or succeed perfectly.
- Since I am a student, I find it absolutely frustrating when the people who get really good grades are basically praised and worshipped when the rest of us are basically discarded like a piece of dirt, and constantly put down at the fact that we’re not at the same level as the people who are acing every class
- Talk with a students parent who is doing okay in my class but not excellent. The students parent wanted to blame class discussion about Catholics on her daughters ability to participate in class. It was frustrating because I felt as though she was looking for an out, when her daughter told me she did not want to take the class. That she dropped the class and her mother signed her back up for it.
- The most frustating thing that I’ve had to do in the past few days was at school, it was frustating because the things did not hapen like it supposed to be, I was in my labtory making an assay and I spent mora than 2 hours making a lot of solutions, and at the end when I had to read my results, it was wrong and I made it again and again and again. at the end of 3 hours the teacher came and told me: your assay failed so you too. and she walked away, she didn’t let me explain her what happend or she didn’t explain me what was wrong and what could I do to make it better next time, so I wasted my time in an assay that was wrong and I didn’t have an advice about to make it better netx time. I felt that I mada it for nothing.
- The most frustrating thing about my course is it needs a lot of time and concentration. This means that you have to sacrifice a lot even at night you have to give some time aside and make sure that you get some codes for the case of a course model like programming. Finally the entire course needs to be treated like a woman in order to understand each model in it.
- The most frustrating thing I have had to do in the past couple days was to write a paper on female leadership. This was frustrating because of how marginalized the descriptions of males and females were. Not everyone displays merely female or merely male traits. Rather most people are a blend.
- The most frustrating thing I have to do a project of a class where you have to design a plant of whatever you want. It was frustrating because I don’t really known all the things that envolve designing a plant and it was very difficult because I have to learn it while I make the project. The important thing is that I learn a lot of new abilities during de project.
- The most frustrating thing I’ve had to do in the last couple of days was to try and figure out what classes I need to take for my senior year of high school. It’s frustrating because I’m so indecisive and I don’t know what classes to choose that will help me overall in my future.
- The most frustrating thing I’ve had to do in the last couple of weeks was write a very complex essay for Comparative Literature. For one, my writing skills are not the best considering it is often convoluted. My ideas are often left unclear and unexpressed. Also, this is a subject that I am not really good in at all.
- The most frustrating thing I’ve had to do recently is go to my art class. It’s frustrating because, you’re kind of on your own in that class. All the teacher really does is assign you a project and then you have to figure out everything else on your own. I’m new to this school so I didn’t know where the supplies were or anything so it also frustrates me because I am quite shy.
- The most frustrating thing I’ve have to do is write a short story about something and I only have a small amount of information. It frustrates me because I want to make it really good and get 100% on it. I am also not the best with short stories in English class too.
- The most frustrating thing that I had to do at home was to write an essay about song lyrics. I had a hard time because I was unmotivated and I didn’t know what to write about them. I had no interest in it and rather would have written about something else.
- The most frustrating thing was probably stress from school. I am the type of person who will stay awake at night thinking of a thousand “what if” situations when I am stressed. This keeps me up all night and clouds my thoughts because I am so worried about the alternate outcomes that might not even exist.
- The most frustratting thing that I have done at school was when I was in health class and the teacher gave us a project due at the end of the week and he gave us no directions to folow, so towards the end of the week he finaly gave us the directions and he gave us more time to do the project.
- The must frustrating thing I’ve had to do these past few days in school is upstanding stereotypes. I’ve faced a few racial and social stereotypes, and they really bug me because it feels like other people are putting me in a box or forcing me into a mold I don’t belong in.
- When school vacated and I was going home home and there where no means of transportation because it was christmas and traders were going up and down and schools had vacated to, got home so late, was soo tired n frustrated because I was going from one station to the other
