Chill!

Well, with 3 exams down and 2 left to go, I'm beginning to wonder why people are getting so worked up about exams, etc. Sure, to some people they may be important, but in all fairness, they're actually quite, well, pointless.
There is alot more to life than exams, and there certainly is more enjoyment to be had when you're not stressing yourself out over them.

Think for 5 minutes. What is the worst case scenario? The worst thing that could happen if you fail an exam? It's hardly like your family will be shot, or killed. I very much doubt your house would catch fire. In fact, the worst case scenario is this. You resit the exam. Big deal. Life goes on. It's unlikely that I'm going to pass anything this year. But I feel safe in the knowlege that, no matter how badly I do, as long as I try, I'll be fine. I can go to college next year, get a good grade there, or even a mediocre grade and still go far.
People forget that some of the most influential people in the world came out of school with no grades.
My old maths teacher was dyslexic. He failed his maths GCSE. And look at him now...

So, it still begs the question as to why people are fretting over exams this year. I can see why they might be a little anxious, but worrying to the point at which they are ill? Is that going to help? I very much doubt it.

So what did I do in my last Sociology Lesson before my exam? I chilled out. I took a leaf from everyone elses book for once. I drew a few pictures, and flicked through my text book. If I fail tomorrow, I fail. Big deal. Live with it.
