Right about this time every year students return from holiday break in a frenzie to study for upcoming exams. Exams count for a large portion of our grades which makes the stress they induce understandable. In my high school career I have taken 9 huge exams and each and every one of those tests made me want to cry. I cried not because I didn't understand what I was doing but because I had simply too much to do. With the change to quarter exams the new exam week has gotten even more stressful. Now I have studying and new homework to focus on. All of it simply becomes too much so in order to not break down I do a couple things. First, I take a stetp back and put all my work into piles. Then one by one I get through the piles and after that I do a tribal dance, but not really. After the piles are gone I lay down on my couch and watch some trash television so I don't have to think about anything. When the test comes I simply say YOLO and destroy the test. Most the time the test destroys me but hey, at least I tried. Studying is something that will be around until my schooling is over but no matter what I will hate quarter exam studying more than anything. After this week is over I will be a ray of sunshine but until then I am tired and angry. Hopefully all of your exams go well!!!
