I was very anxious and felt I needed to aim to be one of the top scorers, so I stayed up til 2, worried, calculating my scores based on what-ifs. I spoke to my classmates and (also my instructor) and revealed my anxiety it sort of helped to have someone to talk to. I just needed a certain grade to pass, but I get it. You need a certain grade to get scholarships, to get accepted into graduate school it's also the hard work and experience you went through, and the people who know how hard you work to give you recommendation

Some stress is good but I pushed myself until I was burnt-out and having breakdowns. My health was not worth it I am only human
