1) What are you most stressed-out with at the moment? Why? Is your body re-acting to this stress? Devise a plan to deal with it. (Who do you turn to when you are stressed?)

2) READ the following excerpts from last year's UN100 on how they approach studying and retention of information from textbooks. These are extremely successful and their grades are reflecting it. If you haven't cracked your Anatomy textbook especially, you are doing yourself a great disservice!

The thing that I am most stressed with at the moment is just getting better grades on tests, because I know that I don't do the best on the tests and I think that if I just try to focus and relax I will do better. My body tends to react by giving me cramps and upset stomachs. I also have TMJ where I grind my teeth and clench my jaw, I do this when I get nervous and I end up getting tension headaches. I deal with this by calling my mother or grandmother and just chatting, that always seems to help a lot.

  1. I think that if you relax and focus you will definitely do better. Test Anxiety is a difficult thing to work through but you can do it. You have to mentally tell yourself over and over that you are "okay." Glad you have a support system though (mom & grandma)!
