I'm in the library at UM trying to not think about a huge exam I have in...2 hours 15 minutes. It's in my cultural anthropology class and I have no idea whether or not I'm prepared. I think I am...I hope I am. I never missed a class and I read everything we were supposed to. I have the notes; and yet, I feel as though I am not ready. I think I've ( Read more... )

The more stress you pile on the harder it is going to be.

You are smart and you deserve to be there, and thankfully scholorships exist to reward smart and talented kids with a good education.

You are worthy of being in the school and worthy of wonderful things in your life.

Thank you. It means a lot to me that you'd say that. I just need to tell myself, "I'm smart." rather than, "Why can't I do better?"

Hey you! :) I am sure that C is just a blip, don't let it shake your confidence. It must be difficult for you when people expect you to do well on every exam, every home assignment because they've seen how smart and talented you are. I know you don't want to disappoint them, but you don't have to prove anything. You already are good enough.

:) Thanks. It is hard, though, trying to do really well when I feel like I'm going to fail. It's miserable because I feel like my best isn't good enough; that there is always room for improvement. I'm not happy unless I do a perfect job.

On the plus side, the exam wasn't that difficult. I don't think I got a 100% but I am pretty sure I got an A. :)
