Imagine 1: How to stop worrying to much ,Keith Simon(2020), [online available]
Thursday, Week 8 was coming. Starting with an announcement that our professor would release the podcast score.
Some believe there's nothing more annoying than paint drying, but I disagree; waiting for assessment results is far more frustrating. Despite the extremely long wait till results day, I became the impatient person that I am sometimes. Similarly, with the others, I am eager to learn how well I did, regardless of the fact that it terrifies me.
When I received the podcast result, I literally burst into tears and screamed because an HD score popped into my eyes, making me delighted and proud. I received a call from one of my teammates instantly, and we chatted for over an hour. We were all taken aback by the unexpected outcome, but thrilled and proud of ourselves for our hard work and dedication to producing the highest quality podcast achievable.
Therefore, if you're worried about any exam or assessment evaluation, remember that you're not alone. Here are 3 tips for you in order to reduce stress during the waiting result time:

Reward yourself after working hard
After the exam, do something that you enjoy and make you feel released. For example: If you like baking, go ahead. Find a baking course and emerge yourself with people in this class. Or even if you want to take a long sleeping hour to gain back the energy because You’ve been pulling so many nights
Recognize that it would happen and accept the circumstance.
It's absolutely normal to feel whatever you're experiencing and anxiety can be a positive indication if you care about your academic performance. However, you won't be able to go back in time to reverse the answer generated for that 20-mark question unless you've obtained some form of time-traveling device.
So, take a deep breath and realize that it's all behind you. Certainly, your emotions are genuine, and worrying about the outcome of getting a good score will not earn you the grade you desire. Remember that, even if you don't feel it, you did the best you could with the effort and resources you had. Know that no matter what occurs, you'll be capable of recover.
Try to have a healthy balance.
When you're faced with negative emotions, it's critical to seek healthy ways to care for yourself. It's not simple in the beginning, but it is mainly about having a balance. Avoid eating fewer or even more than normal, eating more unhealthy snacks, not sleeping enough or sleeping too much, cutting communication with family and friends, or turning to intoxicants such as cocaine, alcohol, and cigarette.
Instead of sitting and worrying about the present, try some gentle workouts such as strolling, biking, hiking, yoga, etc. Trust me! Exercising on a regular basis can truly help you relax. Additionally, you can do whatever you think would help you relax, such as baking, watching comedies, or even viewing a long series of movies and crying a lot. But these activities should have a positive approach.
