Anxious about the exam? Me too!

Exam anxiety is one of the most well-known forms of anxiety.. I should know! Going to high school I see it around me all the time. From people I don’t know to my closest friends freaking out 3 weeks before the exam even takes place. Personally, I think it’s build up around two things.

1. Fear of the unknown. A lot of people are afraid of what they cannot control. What they don’t know anything about. And that’s just not applied to exam situations, but literally everything. But pacing the hallway while waiting for the time of doom is horrible. You don’t know what’s going to happen, you don’t know the people inside and if you’re going to blackout completely. You need to remember your points, your presentation and REMEMBER TO SHAKE HANDS! It’s all too much!


2. Fear of messing up. It’s obvious that going to an exam, you want to do good. You want good grades. You want to walk out of there with a good feeling and something to celebrate and not something to go home and cry in the corner of your bed for. It’s a natural thing, if you strive to get good grades or not. I don’t think anyone in the world goes into an examination and doesn’t feel ashamed or scared of being unprepared. At least not from my experience. We humans strive to satisfy others, and some people will go to great lenghts to ensure that everyone are happy and satisfied. So if you’re one of those people and you’re scared your censor and teacher are just going to hate you, it automatically makes you a 100% more nervous. And for overthinkers, like myself, we’ve gone through every possible scenario that will end in horror and tears. Trust me… Every. Single. One.

In most cases this is because we bring our own troubles into the examination room with us. And while someone telling you that “just letting it go”, is fine, it’s not what you want to hear. I personally, hate when people tell me that “I can do it! Just believe in yourself!”. It’s added pressure. Even though I know they mean well I’d rather just not hear it. And I know a lot of people are out there just like me.

But even though it sucks to hear it, everyone should believe more in themselves. Telling yourself that you can’t, makes the chances of you failing higher. It’s like you give up even before trying. So, suck it up, tell yourself “you got this” and go ace that exam!
And even if you don’t.. In the end the exam is what it is. An exam. It’s about the 10th if not less of a percent of your life. Will you really let that teeny tiny part of your life ruin everything? I can answer that for you. No you won’t. So here are the famous words that well all love to hate.

You can do it!

Until next time!

Starting a blog?

It’s no secret that I’ve never done this before… I mean, it IS my first blog, as you can tell. But in reality I’ve had my own blog for a while. Maybe not in computer form, but I have this notebook. It’s not that special or fancy, actually the print on the front says “Serious Notebook (so people think you know what you’re doing)”. I love when my notebooks have better humor than me.
Anyways, in this notebook I’ve written down my thoughts about anything that came to my mind. And before that notebook, I tried keeping a bullet journal. Now, keeping a bullet journal is harder work than you’d think. At least if you want it to be artsy. So I gave that up after a few months which led me to my humerous notebook. And beause I call myself “a writer” I miss sharing my thoughts with those around me. I know many people feel the exact same as I do and what if my thoughts can help anyone? Or at least give them a new perspective?

A few things about me. My name is Anna and I’m not from any English speaking country. I’m from a small town in Denmark. So, naturally English isn’t my first language so any mistakes I make is because of that. I do try though, to have okay grammar.
I just turned 19 this year, which makes me pretty young as well compared to some bloggers, though I don’t see myself as too young. In the end, can you ever be too young to pick up writing? I’ve been writing since I was about 15, created numerous fanfictions or books with made-up characters on the platform called Wattpad.

Writing has always been a relief for me. A way to get rid of all the thoughts in my head and type them out. Choosing to share them, is something that I’ve always done. And honestly, I’m okay with sharing that little piece of me.
I don’t know how this blog-thing works. I’ve never tried it before, but I’m maybe willing to give it a shot? I’ve grown a lot since I was 15, and learned both things about life and myself.

And the things I would be able to contribute to this society with, is my thoughts and feelings. Like many other people in this world I suffer from anxiety, mostly social anxiety. But I’m dealing with it, learning how to get better. And I suppose I’m writing this to find my equals out there. Someone that can share that journey with me, or at least find some inspiration in what I learn.

So until next time,

May you all have a wonderful day:)
