Exams
Exams can be a source of stress for some. I have even heard a lot of friends and loved ones refer to it as “going through hell.” This can be true for some people, studying highly specialized fields such as medicine and engineering. But, lately I have seen people in Arts degrees becoming almost as stressed as you would expect from a med student. I think that this has partly to do with pressure to do well from parents and family. But also, i think culture has put to much importance on getting straight A’s. Sure, an A would be a very nice thing to have. But I really don’t think it’s worth getting stressed beyond belief over. A little stress is helpful to do your best, but too much can be bad for your health, both mentally and physically. Yes, tests can be important, but why not try to relax and realize that it’s not the end of the world if the worst happens: getting a B instead of that A you so desperately need.
