<p>omg smurfette, every single word in your post sounds sooo incredible true. I'm pretty much feeling the same way you are. Except this week im taking the SAT to raise my math score, i've got a TON of AP physiccs hw (which i understand none of), i've got 3 major essays to write that are all due on weds and every day this week leading up to the SAT test i'm not getting home until 9 30 cuz of my SAT classes. I've also pretty much got my hardest schedule my senior year, and while all my friends are taking it easy,partying and doing what not i'm at home studying, writing essays and freaking out. ggrrrr. i just want this week to be over. i just want this all to pass. </p>
<p>Here's what i do when i'm stressed.</p>
<p>I go work out. otherwise i think i'd have a heart attack lol. I do stretches (like yoga). and sometimes (this is bad) i binge. that's been getting pretty bad latley. i usually never eat unhealthy food but in the past two day's i've eaten 3 ice cream sandwhiches, a see's candy bar (big one), 3 peices of cake and ... lots of other crap. </p>
<p>What should I do to get a high score on the ACT's? Every practice test I have taken turns out to be a 24. My test date is Oct. 22 and I'm totally freaking out! </p>
<p>If I'm getting chest pains, headaches, and I'm crying because I'm stressed out, that's not good is it?</p>
<p>Oh, I forgot who asked this, but in Trig we are learning about functions of acute and non acute angles. I had to figure out what sin theta 90 was, etc. It's not that I don't understand it, it's just when I take a quiz or a test, I freak out and can't remember anything that I studied.</p>
<p>dude, chest pains aren't good. Some people are just prone to it. I had them a lot at the beggining of last year because a) i was drinkign too much coffee and b) i was totally stressed out, never slept and didn't know how to releive my tension. I'm way better with that now. </p>
<p>Just remember, this will all be OVER come second semester. the u can chlil and party it up like a senior, and rub it in all those juniors faces that they still have to focus on school while you're home free (sorta). Anyway, dont worry about the practice tests so much. You're performance may change on the day of the test and a lot of books give u harder practice tests than anythign we woudl ever encounter on the real thing.</p>
<p>have a cocktail. but limit yourself to two. dont become an alcoholic and drink yourself silly every night. just a little to take the edge off ya know. and for sex well unless you got a gf or bf thats not something you can do regularly every night. hire a prostitute.</p>
<p>Listen to incredibly loud and hateful music! That's what I do everyday. I also have senioritis (though, I promised myself I wouldn't get it because my brother got it his senior year). This school year is a total waste, though. Nothing about it matters.</p>
<p>I started lol when I was reading your posts! I've been having a stressful day and you guys made me feel a lot better. Thanx! I'll hang in there. You guys are the best! :)</p>
<p>"uh... you guys are joking about the sex, drugs, and booze thing right? I would be really surprised if you did do all that and manage to get above a 4.0 GPA."</p>
<p>yea i wasnt kidding although this year its a little less sex than i would like and your right i dont have above a 4.0. But anyway you should never let school stress you out it will all be over soon.......</p>
<p>alcohol and friends, don't believe the **** christians peddle to you about temperance, I know people who have taken the SAT on cocaine and still scored above 1900, impressive, i know.</p>
<p>I don't believe in premarital sex, I have never gotten wasted, and I am very militant on drugs. You might think that i'm some stupid christian girl for believing in that. I have high grades, I'm in AP classes, involved in NHS etc. and I intend to continue that trend by not being involved in high risk activites. I also want to go pre-med, and I'm not going to let bad choices (like an unwanted pregnancy) to kill my dreams of becoming a doctor. My parents would be so dissapointed in me if they found out I was partying and having sex. I don't want ruin my family name by being involved in that stuff. My teachers would also be dissapointed in me, and there are a lot of teachers in my high school that are looking out for me, like my Bio II teacher I had from last year. I'm not trying to persuade anyone to adopt my opinions, but that's how I feel. Please don't chop my head off for posting this, because this is MY OPINION.</p>
