[QUOTE="Miss Chocolate, post: 172048, member: 32247"] No, because going to tutors is the most humbling and humiliating experience on earth. I fully ask the dumbest questions because I am behind on work and use their office hours to ask very general questions and I am sure it shows that I know about 2% of the content in the module. I feel like I would change my ways if I ever failed majorly but I don’t think I have ever done irreversible damage because of my tendencies to put off things (mostly because I am anxious and also because of sheer laziness). I genuinely do think it all comes down to self-belief. If you consider yourself to be reasonably capable of producing something sensible, you wouldn’t put it off. Add perfectionism to that mix and you have a lovely disaster waiting to happen. Oh well. :( To make things worse, I am currently distracted because of a certain ‘situation’ (and I shall say no more on that). I am going to put on my spiritual girlie hat and manifest for things to happen that are meant to happen and not stress about things outside of my control. I do wish I was one of those people who genuinely believed that if things are meant to be, they will be and if you don’t get something you want, it’s because the universe is looking out for you. I am going to try and hold onto that for now. I think I have spoken about this on here before, but the university changed my supervisor as the previous one left.
