Emotion: anxiety
Problem: academic pressure
Situation: Finals week has pushed me to my limits and is causing me to be very stressed and moody.  Many people in my family are noticing my personality being like a stir-crazy animal.

user: ***Sigh*** I am under a lot of stress these days.

assistant: Hello, don't worry, I am here to help. Could you tell me what is going on?

user: It is final's week and I am under a Helluvah lot of stress. School work is just pounding my brain. I am taking 5 courses this semester, too.

assistant: I can definetely imagine how stressful the last week of school can be, especially taking 5 courses instead of 4. However, don't let this situation scare you or ruin your holidays. There are ways to cope with said stress.

user: Yeah. I am glad you are here to help me think things through. I need to find a solution to my anxiety while I knock out paper after paper.

assistant: First of all, do you have some academic counselor you can talk to? Help you organize your ideas or classwork? Can you refer to professors or fellow classmates for help?

user: Well, counselors are hard to get ahold of so close to the Holidays. The so-called teachers are not that helpful. seniors must figure it out by themselves.....(for the most part). My roommate is a lunatic.

assistant: Are you confident in your abilities to succeed in those classes or you think you might lack the materials or knowledge? Or perhaps time?

user: I just don't know. I am going to try my best to submit every assignment on time, even though the quality prolly won't be 100%. I am a perfectionist by nature. I am a bit moody and my roommates have noticed it.

assistant: It's okto be moody given the circumstances and the stress you are going through, and I think that you should attemp to complete all the assignments even if you don't get a 100% on them. That will show the professors that you are responsible and care about the subject or perhaps your major.

user: I think that I need to research more to ace this out.

assistant: Accomplishing to submit everything will also make you feel good with yourself! It's important than you take your time.

user: Most so-called professors are snobs and their TA's are worse. Academia is full of lazy admins and lame teachers. Plus, the student loan costs are atrocious.

assistant: I understand that college can be financially demanding.

user: It is a rip off for what you get..... Hopefully, my student loans will be forgiven by President Joe Biden in 2021 My anxiety is from the costs of college as well.

assistant: You need to think that you will have a secure job once you graduate, and every debt will be eventually paid off even if Biden doesn't forgive it. Try to remain optimistic and shake away the anxiety, it won't do you any good.

user: Yeah, but big debts are big debts

assistant: Do you feel better after talking about all of this?

user: Yeah, but do you think I should take a different approach to things? Or find some other way to release my anxiety? I am still anxious about the end of school

assistant: Not at all, I think what you are experiencing is completely normal, and you just have to cope with it in the most optimistic way possible. Maybe getting your assignments done in time will be helpful for your anxiety. After that, you will have tons of time to spend with friends, family, or simply leisure time to do what you enjoy.

user: Yeah, tha is true. Thank you for taking the time to hear my grief. "Good Grief."
