I'm a 19 years old male from the Netherlands. I'm in my first year of studying psychology at the university of Utrecht, and plan to major in clinical psychology. I'm interested in nearly anything, so I know a little something about a lot of different subjects. My areas of expertise lie in philosophy, religion and spirituality.

I am stressed out! *sigh* I'm a sophomore, and in my state we have to take the graduation test this year. The tearchers are like "The graduation test is in March!! You must know everything!!!" Also, I have my permitt. I like driving and all...but I'm nervous. My sister (age: 10) doesn't help me much either... all I hear from her is "Help me!" I spend an hour riding to school, then spend 8 hours at school, then the hour ride back. Then I have to eat my dog or cat (my sister and I take turns), then I have to help my sister with any homework she has. Also, I'm getting worried about my grades. No, I'm not failing. I am getting mostly B's...but it seems like I'm not doing good enough.
*laughes* You want to know something sad? My birthday is a week before the graduation test, and the day before the gradution test is the earliest I can take my driver's license. -_- Lucky me, huh?
Does any one have stress management advice...or any kind of advice. ^__^ Thanks!!! (link)

The best advice is: calm down. Relax, you've made it to sophomore, B's are good grades, you'll probably do just fine if you calm down about it a bit. IF you're afraid you don't have enough time, you might want to talk to your parents and your sister to see if she can get help with her homework somewhere else for a while. It's her homework, she shouldn't be depending on you to make it.
You could try making a schedule, and stick to it, to manage your time between driving, studying, and other things you want to do. You can also consider taking your driver's license at a later date. That test can't be postponed, and it's much better to spread stressful events.
But most of all, just take it easy, have some herbal tea. If something goes wrong, it goes wrong, it won't be the end of the world as you can always take another shot at things.
