I just wanted to say good luck to everyone on finals and ap tests! I know how horrible and stressful they are.. Just remember that school doesn't define how smart you are.

Even if you don't feel like you are - even if you feel like you are caught in the currents of a rushing river with no time and no control over where you are going - you are okay. You will be okay. This is your time. These are your tests. You will use your voice and your skill to show what you have learned. These test dates will come, you will do your best, and then it will be over. No matter the kind of pressure others put on you, this is not their fight or their responsibility. You've got this. And no matter the outcome, you will be just fine.

Oh, and you are definitely not crazy. Just try to put some boundaries between yourself and the world: find a quiet and still corner to just let yourself "be" for a little while. Breathe.

It's not lazy or selfish to take a break from what's stressing you out. Do what you need to ensure your own well-being <3 If that means taking a nap, listening to music, or doing whatever it is that helps you wind down and take your mind off the stress, go for it! :)

I know these tests can be really stressful to think about, but if it helps you can remember that test scores don't define you. No matter what, you'll give it your best shot and make the most of it.

And I want you to know you'll be okay! Just remember to take care of yourself and it'll be fine. :) I wish you the best of luck on your AP exams and state assessment!

Let us know, when it's all said and done, how it goes, okay? There are so many students stressed right now about these exams. You are all in it together.

If you're looking for a good laugh (or cry) on the subject, John Oliver's most recent episode is on standardized tests: www.youtube.com/watch?v=J6lyURyVz7k

Maybe it'll take your mind off your stress for a few minutes.
