An Extreme Case of Examaphobia


It feels so good to smush a pillow into my face and scream. Just scream. Just scream all my frustrations about the upcoming mid-year exams. I hope I don’t get a migraine tomorrow because I need to be my best! Tomorrow I’ll be sitting in the examination hall for 2 hours. Not only will my arm ache and my head burst but my butt will be sore. Looking forward to that...

Putting all that aside, I look relax and calm. Right now, I’m just letting all those history dates seep deep into my brain. Everyone gets examaphobia before any test or exam, they are bound to. As an expert of examaphobia* here are a couple of tips:

*        Smushing a pillow into your face and screaming is proved beneficial as it lets go of all your frustration. An alternative method is punching something (not someone).

*         Relax your brain. There is in fact a life outside of studying. Your teachers didn’t want you to attack yourself day by day with facts, numbers and whatnot. Remember that an exam is testing what you understand not what you know. So go outside and tame a rabid squirrel like I did... or something.

*       Study in the sunlight. It will not only increase brain productivity. 
Bonus: If you are a vampire it will make you sparkle and look good**.


*       Eat brain food such as ice cream, biscuits and sugar cookies. Just don’t get distracted by all this goodness.

*        It also helps to study much before the exam date. It’s best if you start a month before.

There you go, my tips for a good exam.

Well got to go, I've got a date with a history book. 

Wish me luck,
Ni sa

* I’m not an examaphobia expert, but these are real good tips
** This does not happen in reality. I don’t believe in this. Besides, who would want a vampire that looks like a disco ball all day long?
