Partying, socialising, sleeping in, cramming for exams and skipping lectures; these words are often associated with uni students. However there is a lot more to uni than this. Being a uni student myself I often tell people that uni is hard work and to actually pass all your subjects you do have to work.
At James Cook University depending on the course you are studying, there will generally be 13 weeks of lectures and workshops, followed by a two week exam block. In between lectures and workshops, you have to find time to research, complete assignments, study for exams, prepare presentations and continue with your day to day life. There are times when I'll have four assignments all due in the same week and all I'm doing is assignment after assignment. So as much as people may think, uni is not just about the social life. It can be stressful and hectic at times. When I get stressed and overwhelmed by all the work and assignments I try to envisage the end goal and the great holidays that come with being a uni student is a bonus.
