Stress in exams
This is a difficult topic for me to write about since I have never felt stress neither because of exams or school at all. But it is well demonstrated that school can and will keep on terrifying students. In my opinion because of the psychosomatic factor that you need to reach a certain standard, while at the same time thinking that you can't reach that standard. So, here are two tips on how to make your life less stressful because of exams.
Firstly, make the most out of the good will of the professors willing to help you. For some reason unknown to me, the great majority of teachers care about their students, about their learning process. The more they care the better teachers they are. Moreover, this great value teachers possess is something to be exploited to your full advantage. It can bring forth a great deal of experience and information about the class material. And this in turn could make you feel more comfortable and secure at the time of taking the exams.
Relaxing is the key to getting rid of stress. As a matter of fact, it is an antonym of stress. With this in mind, it is an essentiality that we give ourselves time to relax and distract our minds from the present tasks. Wether it be sports, husbandry, gardening, or some mental-related activity; as long as it makes you feel relaxed and distracted, it will work. And let these activities remind you, at the same time, that life is not all about getting the best grades.
These are very short tips that can nevertheless be used by students to avoid stress in exam periods, or in general in school and other activities. Â I hope you find them useful.
WHEN EVERYTHING IS DUE IN THE SAME WEEK
IT’S LIKE:
I have never seen something that more accurately describes how I’m feeling right now
here's my late homework, sorry Yasin for not doing it yesterday but i was having life problems.
Have you ever been broken to pieces over and over again and even when you were trying to pick those pieces up they kept breaking again until they literally turned to crumbs and dust. But you still tried to pick them up even though you realised, even if you managed to put all of those back together, it won’t be like it used to. And that’s when it hits you. This literally changed me and I can never go back to like how I used to be and i don’t know how to get through this’ ? I am and it just sucks!

Innumeracy - Mathematical Illiteracy
Innumeracy is the inability to deal comfortably with the fundamental notions of number and chance.
A lot of people nowadays tend to think that mathematics are useless for the everyday life. Some of them even express a perverse pride when talking about their lack of mathematical abilities. And unlike other failings which are often of a more subtle nature, mathematical illiteracy is oft flaunted as seen in these common phrases: "I always hated math", "I'm a people person, not a math person", "how will this be of use for me in the future?".
A reason why innumeracy happens is because its consequences aren't as easy to see as other weaknesses. Moreover, some of the blocks to dealing comfortably with numbers and probabilities are due to natural psychological responses to uncertainty, coincidence, or how a problem is framed. For instance, the fear of death-by-shark-attack. How we point our focus to the scant yearly annals, while ignoring the rest of the statistics.
Even more ominous is the gap between scientists' assessments of various risks and the interpretation of the layman. This gap threatens eventually to lead either to unfounded and crippling anxieties or to impossible and economically paralyzing demands for risk-free guarantees.
Hereinafter, I will expose an example regarding the risk of contracting AIDS heterosexually, with the intention of demonstrating the importance of being conscious of statistics.
The chance of getting AIDS in a single unprotected heterosexual episode form a partner known to have the disease is about one in five hundred. Thus, the probability of not getting it in such an encounter is 499/500. If the risks are independent, the probability of not getting it after two consecutive encounters is of (499/500)^2, and after N encounters (499/500)^N. Since (499/500)^346 = 1/2, one runs about a fifty percent chance of not getting AIDS in unsafe heterosexual intercourse everyday for almost a year, with a person known to have the disease.
Using a condom, the risk of being infected from a single heterosexual episode with someone known to have the disease goes down to 1/5000. By similar reasoning as the above, we conclude that having safe sex everyday for ten years with such a person leads to a fifty percent chance of getting the disease.
If you don't know whether or not your partner has AIDS, the chance per episode of getting infected is one in five million unprotected. One in fifty million using a condom. We therefore conclude that you are more likely to die in a car crash on the way home from such a tryst.
It is noteworthy to see that the reasoning mentioned in the above paragraphs does not encourage people to secure themselves more or less; it is simply stating that you need to be aware of numbers, probabilities, and their semantic connotations.
