I need advice! I have a biology exam and an LEGO quiz on Friday. I am terrified! The reason I don’t have the courage to study is because I don’t like my biology teacher and I know he doesn’t like me either. Don’t ask why. I haven’t started studying yet and when I do study I just don’t feel engaged in it. I get distracted a lot. I have tomorrow off but I don’t think with this type of attitude I will even open my notebook and study. I am so scared! Please give me advice! I am a 4.0 student and I want my grades to stay that way. Please give me advice! Where should I start? I’m freaking out.

Get off of SDN and go study?
 
Is this for real? lol. Sincerely do not know if this is a troll or not.
 
I am being serious. The person who commented that I cannot let my least favorite teacher get in my way of getting accepted to medical school gave me encouraging words. That’s all I needed to read.

Because you don't like your prof you're going to hamper your pursuit of getting into medical school? You study and do well in classes to achieve your professional goals, not to please your professor. Also, what school are you attending where you can take classes on LEGOs?

Thank you! That’s all I needed to hear!

Quit whining and moaning. SDN is not for that. Get off your phone and start studying. Even if the professor sucks, what can you do? Just study and do well in his class. Use it as motivation to prove him wrong

Time to withdraw from school, get a job, work a few years, and frankly, grow up. You sound like my 13 year old.
 
Take a nice, deep breath. Teacher fears are not uncommon.

You can fight this. I believe in you.

Do you think it would help you to study to have some good music on and a favorite snackie? That helps me when I don't feel like I have it in me to study.

That and just take it a little at a time. Break up this big task into a lot of manageable, small tasks.

P.S. I don't mean to pry, but is social anxiety an issue for you often? (No need to answer, just something to think about.) I speak from experience that therapy is super awesomely helpful for that and with being in college you should have free or cheap access through your school's Counseling Center. Might as well get your tuition money's worth if you think it might be useful.
 
I noticed you posted a very similar post a few months ago. You either didn't take the advice or you have not modified you're lifestyle which could be due to some anxiety problems. I agree with some of the posts above, I think you should be open minded in checking your schools counseling center.
Additionally some life advice at you. I found is by living life and doing things that give value to your life beyond grades helps take the pressure off and just let's you do the work that needs to be done. Working for a bit might help, or backing off the school and filling it with extracurriculars.
As for Friday, I think making sure you have done all the things you in your power to relax. (Tea, some sleep, a hot shower, or a workout), and then just get the work done. Picture what your goal is and do it. The worst you can do is fail, and then what, you do better next time. You learn what you don't know and what you did wrong in your studying. No one will die or get hurt, it will be okay. You also don't need straight A's to become a doctor. So just do you best, and remember this is a long process that no one exam will change the end result, it is the compilation of everything you do that will.
Good luck.
 
......cuz messing up one class is going to screw your chances forever. Obviously one class is gunna change that 4.0 to a 1.0 just like that. You might as well send your professor an email that they're a waste of space......then you're guaranteed an A.

So maybe just study. Not. That. Hard.

Ouch man
 
My test anxiety gets the best of me sometimes. I will make sure to use the campus counseling services and see if I can get help from them. Thank y’all so much for the advice and encouragement. People who were mean, I needed that as well, so danke!
