I always thought I wasn't the kind that got stressed out easily. However, as finals approach, I think even those of us who never get stressed out are starting to feel the pressure.
To be honest, at this point in my life, other than school I really don't have anything to be stressed about. A lot of you are thinking "lucky!" but the one downside is that since I don't deal with stress often, I don't know how to. Haha, I know that sounds like a pathetic complaint and you're probably thinking "can I have that problem?!" but it's true! I'm a wreck when it comes to stress! I stress out over the fact that I'm stressing because that's just not like me! Yesterday, I was just like "Ahh!" I felt like I had so much school to do in so little time. So I thought, ok, let me write down all that I need to get done. Turns out all I really had to do that evening was study for a test the next day. That was it! I simply needed to prioritize. I didn't have to write my paper that is due in a week. I didn't have to practice my song for a concert when I have a block of time free the next day for it. I just need to schedule the most important things first!
If you're a kid just out of high school who's like me and just doesn't know how do deal with stress-- you're not alone! My mom is great with stress, probably because we three kids gave her tons of practice! I know she wasn't always good with stress cause over my carefree years as a kid, we always thought it was just a funny but annoying thing mom's did simply because they were moms. I guess in some ways that's true! But this gives me hope because one good thing about stress is that the more stress you have, the better you hopefully get at combating it. Practice makes perfect!
