HAPPY HOLIDAYS FROM THE STRESS QUEEN!

In conclusion of NaNoWriMo, the holidays have started, and the ACT along with finals are looming. I remember when I was a little kid, and I was waiting for Santa and so excited... Nowadays all I can think about is buying gifts and study study studying. Sometimes I wish I could just enjoy it before the twentieth after school. Instead, I have to be forming study guides and finding things about people so I can buy them gifts because they're all people whom I love very much. In my house, we always buy ornaments together; a new ornament for each kid per year, and we go together to buy them. This year, I got a Mockingjay pin ornament. We put it up on the tree, and it looks so cool. That simple thing may have sort have pushed off the stress a little, but not nearly enough. Christmas gifts are another different story. Shopping for the guys in my life are hard as it is, and this year I have my brother for our secret Santa in my family. I am super freaked out that I don't have any idea what to get him. Between my friends I have to get them each something except for the group I have secret Santa with. That lessens, yet increases the stress. Last on my list of stress is finals and the ACT. Finals are a regularly reoccurring thing, and I've been through them ten other times in my life in precisely eighty other classes, yet they never cease to scare the living crud out of me. Then there's the ACT, in which I have taken four other times. My mom is telling me to get a thirty, because everyone knows that it is "so easy" well that just adds a little pressure to my whole situation. To conclude my obsession over the holidays, I'd like to say this; Deck the Halls and stay distressed. If you're stressed, then you just might need a little more coffee. Happy Holidays!
