You know how happy I am about uni? I am happy and I’ve been happy ever since I found out I got into the classes I wanted to take. Now another feeling have replaced that initial happiness. Fear. Fear of failure.
And what caused this sudden change of feelings? Reading about my second assignment for my Animation with Flash class did. It’s nothing spectacular really. I just need to write a project description of the Flash movie I’ll be working on for this class. A minimum of two pages. I know that’s not a lot, I know I can write this, I know I’m very good with words, I know I’m very creative. Still I’m nervous because it’s been so long since I did something like this. Besides re-taking a high school maths class back in 2008 I haven’t studied for almost eight years. That’s a long time.
I feel stupid for being so nervous but I can’t help it. I guess it’s only natural to be nervous about going back to school after all this time. Oh well, if I could get a good grade in maths (which I hate) I can do this!

Welcome! You've found the the online home of a twenty-eight year old Swedish web designer, artist and blogger who goes by the name Angelica. The site consists of 558 MB words, photos and art. Please do take a look around.
Fear of failure is very common when you’re trying to achieve your goal. I have that fear when it comes to finishing my book. I’m sure you’ll be fine. pick a subject your really interested in, something you won’t get bored with. Don’t have your exceptions to high, and remember that your just beginning.
im also nervous about writing, but once you’re doing it it’s not a problem. you write everyday in your blog so writing comes easy for you. don’t be worried:)
You most definitely can do it. That assignment sounds like a lot of fun and so does your whole career.
Just have fun with it.
Firstly, I am sure you can do it! And it’s normal to worry a little bit at the beginning, if anything, it shows that you are interested in what you are doing so you worry about it, it’s not like you don’t care about failing because you want to succeed. It does not seem bad if you look at it that way.
I wish all the luck for your assignment!
I think almost everyone’s afraid of failure. But I feel that even if I failed in something despite me doing the best I could, I think it wouldn’t be such a bad thing. I mean, it’s better to have failed knowing you did your very best, than to have failed knowing that you could have done better.
Jag kände likadant när jag började plugga efter många års uppehåll! Men du kommer att klara det bra! Gör så gott du kan!
I know how you feel. I took a 3-year-long break after high school, and when I finally started college I was scared to death that I wouldn’t remember anything and I’d fail. Ultimately, though, I realized that I was there to learn. That’s the whole point of school: to learn, and as long as you have a desire to do that and to achieve your goal, you’ll do fine. Plus, you’re smart and talented, so I don’t think you have anything to worry about.
As a side note, I don’t think I ever told you how much I LOVE this layout! It’s one of my favorites that I’ve seen. I love the header and footer, navigation, and the font you used for the title and headings.
have to say again the point of your course is not to write. it’s to make stuff with computer, so writing is secondary. even though you are superior than most at writing you worry?, stop worrying woman and be happy all the time ok!
It is perfectly normal to be that nervous – but don’t let it consume you. I bet if you try to not think about it or worry about it and just remain excited you will do awesome!
I hate that you have to write all of the time for computer courses now – let me prove my skills, not write about them! I am sure you will do fine because you are a great writer (at least from what I have read here)!
Don’t be nervous! You know that you are good so just keep reminding yourself of it. Take your time with it, don’t cram it into one night. I’m sure you’ll do great.
it’s natural to be nervous about something like that. good luck, though. this is my first time seeing this layout, i really like it.
same here! fear of failure T^T ever since i first failed in the uni. but now it came to my mind that if i do my part everything’s CHICKEN. haha. you can do it!^^
Hey if I can pass maths, anyone can! I make the stupidest mistakes in maths like 2×5=15 haha and for a moment I actually thought that was correct
Don’t worry about it, you’ll do great! I don’t think you have anything to worry about! Relax
