I'm too relaxed - Cas Young

I hate my stress habits. I hate them so much. See, normally, I'm a really relaxed, easygoing, chill person and I pride myself in that. And I do well under pressure, I'm past the point of cracking under the pressure of an impending deadline, but I don't seem to have the best way of expressing and dealing with stress.

I know people who stress-Netflix-binge, people who stress-bake, people who stress-smoke (love you, mom), and people who stress-overprepare. Some of those skills are useful like stress-overstudying and most people, when under stress, buckle down and realise, "oh, man I really have a lot of work to do I need to prepare." but I just don't.

I stress-take-care-of-myself. 

Utterly ridiculous and useless. The nigh before an AP test, I'll shower, shave my legs, floss my teeth, get to bed before 10:30, then wake up and have a nutritious breakfast. I tend to cut my nails more, sleep more, either dress impeccable or comfortably, and study less. My self-care also extends to, "You'll do okay without studying, just make sure you're happy and healthy and calm and you'll be just as well off as you would be if you cracked open a review book!"

But to top it all off, I swear to god everyone at the AP Lang test got me sick and I'll never forgive those coughing heathens; they crushed my health and my immune system just after I was bragging how kickass it was. 

Moral of the story, I hate myself and have great skin. At the cost of many test scores. Bless.
