FACT. I am pressured. I am pressured at so many damn levels. I am being pressured into graduating, on time. I am being pressured into having a successful career afterwards. I am being pressured into stopping if by all means I have failed to pass every single exam, test, quiz, and course. But that's a little too hyperbolic.
FACT. When I am pressured at a lot of things, I get too distracted. I always feel anxious. I grip on temporary things. I assume a lot, and I know that's not healthy. I always get too jittery when I have a lot of stuff going on. I cram and I always procrastinate. I don't know why, but I seem to master the art of being late. I crave for pressure sometimes. Because I know that somehow it helps me to boost.
FACT. The moment I sort everything that's going on in front of me is the moment of partial eradication of pressure-my pressure. Most of the time, when I feel that everything is going to spin around and splash like acid droplets along my way, I usually get up and take action against my pressure. I take down notes. I write every single deadline I have. I jot down every single detail I need for the coming wave. And that makes me feel like I'm such an obsessive compulsive scum.
FACT. Doing stuff under the grace of pressure can be quite the rush. It's unhealthy, that's another fact. But somehow it gives me the proper amount of adrenaline to push through and get over. That's how I do. That's how I accomplish things.
FACT. I do cry at times of pressure. You know, just to cleanse some tears outside my eyes. But really, sometimes it gets too far that I have to cry out at one point to release everything. I can shout, I can scream, I can pull a lot of hairs all over my body but that would be too extreme, so I always lay them off. I get sad too, because of the undying pressure. Afterwards, I try to sit down and relax. Then I do this thing called 'thinking' that I highly suggest others should do.
FACT. I don't let pressure get to anything. I don't let pressure get me and my positive aura. I am pressured, not close minded.
FACT. I am not alone at this pressure game. Let's say that there are ten students in a room, nine of them are pressured, the other one is either too intelligent, too braggy, too uncaring, or too undetermined. That's the thing about pressure, it drives you. It pushes you to your limit. It gives you the fuel to finish everything. I am not alone. I am not singular at these topics. And that's what everyone needs to acquire; the FACT that a lot are experiencing what you are in right now. Everyone gets pressured, but not everyone has the capability to withstand them. I consider them weak, but not helpless. Because they can actually pack up all their shits and do something about them.
FACT. After all the pressure? You'll see that it is all worth it. And you'll realize that losing your mind, your wits, your senses and everything you're standing for is really the greater pressure there is. Drowning yourself with this abstract concept is never healthy. Always remember that being a student means being in a lot of hungry pressure. And that's okay. What's not okay is losing yourself over these kind of things.
