Assignment 25: STRESS!! (Tyler Gorman)

How do I manage stress? Well, honestly video games help quite a bit. Inspirational, I know. Other than that, whenever I feel stressed or find myself dreading the coming weeks, months, or years, I just remind myself of everything that's going right, not the things that are going wrong. Sure, I may have a test in calculus, but at least I've got my homework done for physics! I may have no idea what I want to do after college, but at least I'm surrounded by people who can help me figure that out! Staying positive helps me face daunting realities because it makes me worry less about them, and it makes me feel more in control, like I can actually do something about them. In terms of end-of-year exams, I usually remind myself that I've been scoring consistent 5s on practice AP tests and that the US History EOC is being given to general students as well as AP, so it's not really as stressful as I might initially think.
