I know the feeling of being so worried that you can't sleep. Just take a deep breath and tell yourself that you know the information that you are going to be tested on. Put on some relaxing music and try not to think about your exam. I am sure you will do fine. Good luck and let me know how you do!!

Hey, I failed the third exam I had so shit happens, I must admit.

When you're stressed out and can't study, take a warm shower or bath with some really nice scented shower-gel that is relax oriented. Buy one of those scrubby bath things and wash yourself nicely and then comb your hair. It gets your circulation going again after those dreadful hours of studying and it just relaxes all your tense muscles beautifully.

Afterwards, play some relaxing music and have a cup of camomile tea. Read a book for LEISURE for 10 minutes and then go to sleep. You shall fall asleep in no time.

If you still feel the need to study, wind your alarm clock 3 hrs earlier and wake up and study then. I find I can accomplish more in those 3 hrs than in 2 whole afternoons/nights. It's brilliant and you really wake up feeling lovely after the bath and tea n all. It boosts your confidence and gets your system back to normal. Lots of the college stress is caused by the late nights and avoiding them instantly eliminates a ton of problems.

    I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
