Assignment 24 - Gates Sweeney "STRESS"

Many of my friends would agree that I deal with stress quite well. This is a blessing and a curse. There are times when stress is good for your work ethic, and there are times when it is so overflowing that you cannot think straight. Stress is the human body's way of keeping you alert of the things you have to do. For me, dealing with stress is very simple. If you can't do anything about it, don't worry about it. The curse there is that sometimes that threshold gets shifted and the things that I could do something about never get taken care of. I throw things in the "stress free" category that belong in the stress category. Finals matter, and occasionally I'll convince myself that I'm prepared when I might not be, resulting in a stress free environment with a bad grade. Other times I am prepared, and that's a great feeling. Strive to be stress free with true confidence in your preparation, and that's how you deal with finals.
