"Today was a terrible day because..."

[Neo Emolga]

Hello everybody, I'm not doing very well at the moment. It will be difficult for me until early May because I have to do a big group project for college, with strict rules. My groupmates and I will have to give a written document about it to our teacher in April, and we will have to do an oral presentation of our project on May 2. Group work and oral presentations are very difficult for me, and this project makes me feel very stressed.

Last Monday (February 19), in the afternoon, I was at the group meeting with my groupmates. That meeting took almost 2 hours. There weren't any major problems, but it was still difficult for me.
Today (February 22), the teacher explained the elements she wants to see in the written document. After that, one of my groupmates told me that I shouldn't be stressed because the teacher said : "Don't panic". I answered : "Of course she said that, but she also said a lot of stressful things".

Next Monday (February 26), I will turn 19. I'm not excited at all about my birthday : it will be on a Monday, I will have more classes on that day than on usual Mondays, my only friend from the college won't be able to spend time with me on my birthday, and I will have an oral test in English on that day.

I'm sorry to be annoying. :/

Oof, that's not being annoying. Trust me, I've had to deal with TERRIBLE group projects so I know this kind of pain. The worst was when I was home, in my pajamas, sitting down to watch some TV and my annoying teammate calls me and in this annoying voice asks "hey Joe, where are ya!?" Turned out they scheduled a group meeting and forgot to tell me. So I had to shut the TV off, get dressed, and drive 45 minutes all the way back to my college, park my car, walk all the way to the library only to find out "oh, we worked things out, we really didn't need you." I was ready to chain that douche-canoe to the back of my car so he'd discover the hard way just how long of a drive I took for his nonsense.

School is stressful in general. Oral presentations can be hell if you're not used to them. I think the best way to approach it (and from my personal experience) is that everyone needs to present in front of the class and usually they're thinking what of you're thinking of while they're presenting:

"I'm bored, how much time is left in this class?"
"I really want to get out of here so I can do <X THING>"
"I wonder if there's a new episode of <TV SHOW> on tonight."

And if people have their laptops open, they're probably on Facebook, Instagram, or what have you instead of even paying attention to you. The truth is the rest of the class legitimately doesn't really care too much about the subject you're presenting about. And I've seen some people present where they only thing they actually did was read to us what they put on PowerPoint sides. Yawn.

If you're using PowerPoint, add pictures to your slides to accompany your bullet points. If anyone is even remotely paying attention, they'll just be staring at your pictures. I'll admit, I'm guilty of this while listening to other people present and they actually help me daydream. Oh, a presentation about green energy? Throw some pictures of those wind farms in there. Heck, I've linked entire YouTube videos in my stuff and still churn out As, provided you add enough content to reinforce what's in the video

And yeah, having to work on your birthday just sucks. Celebrate your birthday on Sunday the 25th instead and see if that works better for you and your friend. Do something fun, get energized, freshen up, and you'll be good and ready for your stuff on the 26th.
