Hiya guys! I'm in my first year of university at Northumbria Uni studying criminology and sociology, been here a couple of weeks and I have no clue what is going on. I find my lectures and seminars so confusing. When we get told what we have to do, I just sit there thinking 'Eh?' and then when I ask for help I'm still left just as confused as I was previously.
I mean, in my seminars, we have to work in groups. Everyone in my group (and all the others) seem to have an understanding of what we are meant to do and then you have me just sitting their scratching my head wondering what the **** is going on. You know that meme with the dog and the caption 'I have no idea what I'm doing'? Yeah...that's basically me. I even try my best to participate in the group work but because I have no clue as to what is going on, I tend to just sit there listening to everyone else's ideas.
And then there's the exams and essays and ****. I feel as if I haven't got a clear understanding of what I'm supposed to be doing for them; even asking for help doesn't seem to pay off.
Don't get me wrong, I'm not stressed or anything, I'm a pretty laid back guy, it's just that everything is so confusing and I feel as if I'm just gonna fail everything because I don't fully understand what I'm supposed to be doing.
Does anyone else feel this way or am I the only one? Any advice/tips on how to combat this problem?
p.s. I like turtles.
