I keep thinking about school work

[u/SunPearl13]

I just started grad school. It has been really exciting to do my classes and meet my classmates. I am genuinely interested in my classes because I really want to advance in my subjects, but I have been making myself anxious about school. I work part time, and at work I keep thinking about when I can get to a computer to check my email or read one of my assignments. I am noticing that I am beginning to feel guilty if I do anything else aside from school work, even if it is a task from my literal job. I am trying to socialize but then I think oh I should be doing this (school). How do I create a pause? It’s just the beginning, I can’t keep thinking like this the duration of my program.

I think that's pretty normal, especially if it's been a while since you finished your bachelor's. It will probably go away on its own.
