Stressed?

[thenumberthirteen]

Don't get too worked up about GCSE's they're not the end of the world. I'm doing my final exams for my degree and find scheduling relaxation time, and planing your day is really useful.

I throw on some really heavy music and mosh my ass off. It really helps.

[small]I love pineapples! The fruit, the juice, and any candies. God what I would give for some pineapples right about now![/small]

Whenever I feel stressed I take a deep breath and shout "BRING IT ON ************"!

If I'm stressed, I just do something I enjoy for a short while [ie gaming], then get right back to work.

120 pushups, 5 x 2 minute planks or 2 x those and 3 x 1:30 leg lifts. Followed by a 5k or longer run, a 12 mile bike if I have time, and a mile swim if the pool's still open.

120 push ups straight? Is that possible?

I do about 60 every night, pull ups, dumbells and a 10 minute plank. But I don't find those to be good for stress relief, I just do them to stay in shape.

Oh god, Hell no. I'd die after 50 I think.
I do 3 or 4 sets of 25-30 triangle pushups, and then do 2-4 sets of 30 regular. I don't really count the total, I just know its above 100, so I just pick 120 to say.

Not really April Vacation is just ending for me so I'm pretty relaxed.

I'm stressed atm to the extent where my skin is covered in little red dots and my hands have little white lumps on the backs. I am ever so slightly worried about this, but perhaps more so about the RIDICULOUS amount of coursework I'm avoiding :/

Getting stranded abroad by the volcano didn't help...

If you find GCSEs stressful you'll love A Levels.

A levels are much less stressful than GCSE's in my opinion. I'm doing IT, Physics, Maths mechanics and English Literature. I hated GCSE's.
I mean, I have no idea what A2's are like I suppose, but the fact you don't have to do any compulsory subjects is a massive bonus for me, I got to drop the ones I wasn't good at such as German.

I'm usually too laid back or lazy to be stressed nowadays. The only real times I have been stressed is when I was taking my GCSEs, and in college trying to get all of my IT coursework together, finished and handed in before the deadline.

I was getting a bit on edge around the time my GCSEs came along because I had some family problems at home and so I was trying to juggle home life and revising time evenly, which wasn't fun at all.

The only reason I was a bit stressed at college then is because I spent most of my lesson time playing browser based Tetris and pinball, giving myself not a lot of time to get everything in before deadlines, but I just about managed.

I am really stressed out at the moment. To relieve the stress, I postpone stuff even more and I suddenly have to do 4 tests this week. Yaaaaaaaay.

What do you do if you get stressed? Do you often get stressed? Why? Do you like pineapples?

I'm getting kinda worked up about my GCSE (important exams for 15-16 year olds for you non-UKians), and I've found that running every day has really helped. You really feel that you've accomplished something, and when you get good enough, it's fun. I'm normally sort of laid back, so I'm not really stressed out often, but my Chemistry 3 exam is going to be extremely difficult, and I'm worried that it'll hold me back from getting the university placement I want.

I only like pineapples in juice form.

Stress, you say? College finals in a week... speaking of which, I need to be studying. Damn you, addictive Escapist!

I'm kinda suprised no one has chimed in with the uhh... obvious stress reliever.

So me, I either do that, play a sandbox game, or read a book.

I'm doing my AS exams this year, and I do stress about them, but I don't do anything to get rid of that stress. I do go to a gym, it helps me blow off steam a bit, but it doesn't completely distract me.

Hm, I don't even have that. I'm probably going to end up beating the shit out of someone. I feel pent up right now and I'm not even doing anything.
