Sweet.


Everyone deals with stress differently. I deal with it in a very negative/destructive way: I avoid it. I haven't studied more than ten minutes for any of my five courses. Not having to study = not being stressed out.

I also got 90 on my exam this morning, and will probably fall somewhere between 80-90 on my morning exam tomorrow, as well as my exam on Wednesday.
The consequence of doing so well in three courses without being bogged down by work, however, is borderline failing the other two courses. Again I avoid stress by not caring about the other two courses, because they're "not important". Destructive.


You need to find a way to de-stress. A more productive way than mine, though. People will tell you stress is a part of life but they're wrong, it's only a part of their life because they don't know how to deal with it properly. They get used to it, and tell you to do the same.
Your life should not be stressful, in my opinion. If it is then you're missing a very important step.
Find out what that step is. It'll be different for everyone. I'm still trying to find mine, I can't wait to bring some stress into my life by actually doing some school work and having a job again.



Wow I'm preachy. Sorry
