Right now I am super stressed about a class becuase it the final is next week, and I have the hardest finial I have ever seen. I have been working on it like 8 hours a day for the last few days, and don't feel like I am getting any closer to being done. The thing that is hardes for me is that there was nothing I could have done to be in posion to not have as much to do, it isn't like I procrastianted doing all of this stuff. I would be fine if it was my own fault and I was paying for my stupidity, but it isn't. Do you people have any idea how to deal with this stress.
Normally I would just stuff my face with comfort food and sit in front of a video game for several hours. I started some simple exercises a few days ago (pushups, situps and pullups) and feel happier, less stressed about life in general and more energized.
I would suggest trying the same thing. Its only been a couple days and I feel like a different person already.
I'm not that good at dealing with stress, but I've found a few things that can help take the edge off for a little while... like going for a walk, listening to music, taking a shower or bath, etc.
I'm sure you'll do fine on your final, I always get like that, almost prepare myself for failure, but in the end things usually work out. Anyway exercise helps me deal with stress, even if it's just a walk around the block.
When it comes it finals I study enough but while studying I always tell myself it makes no difference if I get 100 or a 0 on this test because in the end its just a mark and I'll still pass the class. You mustn't let them scare/stress you. What class is the final on anyways?

Classics is the Class. For the Final I have to write like a 10 page essay, with at least 10 sources each of which I have to write a few paragraphs on, I have to give a 15 min presentation to the class over what I have learned that has 3 different dimensions, and then give a 10 min presentation to a group of teachers about what we learned. I also have to write a letter to my great great grand kids (which I have already done), make something that represents the journey made through the class and all of this is in the midst of having to read Hamlet (I suck at Shakespeare), and applying to some Collages (Virgina Tech, and Georgia Tech are the last 2 and I finished tonight) so that is good. It is crazy because I am doing Honors and getting college credit (It is like a 130 class which is a pretty high level class for being dual credit) in this class. If I fail this final I fail this class, and fail high school, and have to come back for another year, so it does matter, also I would like to do good in it because it is a college class, and will be seen by any employer I apply for (at least for a little while after I graduate) and any grad school I would like to go to, so it does matter.
I always go for a run before I work on a big project. For some reason, running just sets my mind on one track and gets rid of all the random junk floating around in my head distracting me. I find it much easier to concentrate and work after a run.

Yeah I like to go for a bike ride, or something but right now, it is like -10 degrees, and there is 3-4ft of snow. I like to play video games, but after I get done I feel like I just wasted a few hours of precious time. I have been listening to music, well all of the time when I am working. I might go skiing this Saturday, but I don't want to waist 8 hours of work time. I still might go.
