I don't actually know if I have to do this post, but I'm gonna do it anyway because well yay writing. But okay... stress stress stress. Stress is something that is built up really easily. I have a very particular way of dealing with it. While it takes forever, I like to calculate every single detail of my life in moments of struggle. What I would do is create a checklist for each class that looked a little like this:
Class: English (just as an example)
Current grade: 90.1
Make-up assignments/Anything you can do to get your grade up:
-Corn Socratic Seminar
After that, I would do a whole bunch of math. I would calculate what my grade would be if I made up the assignment. If there were multiple assignments, I would calculate the percentage my grade would go up with each assignment.
While it took forever and a half, I like having everything in front of me and the percentage improvements there to motivate me to actually do it. Sometimes it would work and sometimes it wouldn't.
One last thing I would do it play oboe. Oboe is kinda my life, just like band is. It helps me destress.
(It isn't a Vivi blog post if I don't mention band at least once.)
