-In terms of CCA, it remains the same with the Covid-19 changes and I am quite
-In terms of study, it will remain the same as for me the environment does not matter as long as the stress is still there to keep me going.
- yes as most of the time when I'm outside, I tend to be productive as I won't be as distracted like when I'm studying at home as I will see my bed and want to sleep or want to chill on my sofa and play games.

Environment can be broken down into two parts like eg the people around you and the physical environment. Both really affects how you feel the entire day
Like with the right people and the right environment you feel very happy and energetic but with the wrong people and wrong environment you feel very down and very tired.
It affects their mental and physical health. To meet people you need to meet the right people at the right place

When do you feel stress the most (academic year) & when did you last experienced it?  

# data[].attributes.body
first year (PFP)

trying to adapt to poly life

wasn’t very sure like how to stick with it

It was a whole new environment and make new friends from scratch

the studying style is a lot more different in poly

don’t have someone to walk over to you or someone to get help basically

year 1

a very confusing period of time

Would you say that you work better under stress? 

# data[].attributes.body
for assignment (research) for me, I would say its ok, the stress is ok

for written exams, I tend to be influence by the surrounding environment

I tend to be more affected by the noise, the surrounding environment

stressed then when it perhaps comes to practical work

process of how everything flows

although the instructions are written clearly on the booklet, still don't really understand certain meanings

prefer someone to show an example before getting on on to it

Is the way you cope stress now efficient?

# data[].attributes.body
I think its ok, relatively ok. There’s not much, I don’t face as much stress from class now.

ok for now, seeing as I have not breakdown yet

I think it is efficient as I don’t feel as stress as I was in year 1 I was very stressed in year 1 so

I think right now I am coping well as I am still enjoying my days in school I still enjoy studying and I still have fun with my friends.

So the important things is to find the balance between having fun and doing work

for assignment (research) for me, I would say its ok, stress is ok

but for written exams, i tend not to perform as well

not working in my own environment

tend to be influenced by surrounding environment

more affected by the noise, the surrounding environment during exams in the same room

causation of stress from practical/experiment

process of how everything (experiment/practical) flows

don’t really understand certain meanings though instructions are written clearly on the booklet & after teacher has explained

prefer someone to show me an example before I get on to it (due to my studying style)

Deadlines means that you need to spread the work out so that you don’t feel too stressed

I think for some people like me I can perform better under stress like when I feel the deadline is coming I will feel more efficient

I will always try not to drag the assignment until its nearing the deadline

Would you be open to new ways to relieve stress of stick to your old ways?

# data[].attributes.body
I think mostly I will stick to my own way to manage stress which is like doing my own things

If there are new ways to distract myself from it, then I will be open to it

Online calls for stress. This is one of the most beneficial way

Youre talking to someone that you don’t know means that they are unbiased and the will give their honest opinion to the other party so you get to hear more opinions get to identify more blindspots

But being comfortable enough to talk to someone that I am not familiar with is another thing so this is a hurdle that we need to overcome in order for it to be beneficial. it is also 24 hours

Does additional roles in CCA adds on the difficulty facing in academics?

# data[].attributes.body
the additional responsibility might be quite tolling if its something that i am not entirely mentally prepared for

softball

role is quite minor, so not time consuming

only certain areas require monetary things then that will be the problem

environment club

role was slightly larger, more things do be done

on the phone a lot

covid affected how events were supposed to be done

everything that was physical had to be brought online

actually affected a lot of the people that we were going to work with

comes to giving information, a lot harder and sometimes may not work well with one another

causation of more problems in terms of stress

school work submission may clash with certain submissions for CCA proposals

lesser time spent on studying or doing other things your personally want

BB mentoring
- as of right now no due to COVID we can just meet online which is not very troublesome or time consuming but it is still a commitment

# data[].attributes.body
Food Preservation and food microbiology

quite memory based work and personally I’m not good with memory based work and they are, they tend to have a lot of like theories behind it

I’m a bit lost with what the teacher has guided us along the way

- Business Law

- theory based and needs a lot of reading and difficult to grasp understanding of the many concepts
-very content dense so we need to memorize and digest information quickly
-it is a totally new subject that i have no prior knowledge of so it is like starting from scratch

# data[].attributes.body
-My friends from different ages like my best friends (seniors)
-I know that the advice that she gives me is going to be good as she is my role model
-even though she is not perfect she is someone that is high level, mature enough to handle things positively and to think about others in a same time
- I rant to my friends most of the times as they are understanding of me and would not judge me
- there are times when I just keep things to myself and not tell anyone because I think my friends are busy or I feel like my issue is not that serious to have anyone hear me out.

I will talk to my sister

She is the closet person I grew up with

Probably my siblings and my friends but most likely friends from school as my siblings have their own commitments.
I think they can help because they are going through the same situation as me so they know how it feels.
We help each other. When I am stressed they help me vice versa. They would help me by just talking it out and if it is really bad then my friends will try to explain it to me but I don’t expect them to because all they need to do is to be there for me (emotional support)
