The future is. Literally. giving me panic attacks

Okay so I don't usually talk about my OOC life on RPR, but currently my anxiety is going overboard - I mean it it flowing to it's highest levels. Mainly because this is senior year for me and I..sadly...patheticly  am not good at doing school. I mean my struggle through it has been average like everyone else just filled with anxiety and the occasional panic attack, mental breakdown every night, fear of the furture thoughts that poison my mind. 

.

.

 But anyways my question to anyone who's going into senior year like me ( Or has graduated preferably and has actually managed to survive) is... How do or did you do it, the SAT mainly is my death, I fear the furture in more ways than one, breathing exercises, therapy, distractions in general- aren't helping. I'm just afraid of this school year, just because I'm not a star student like, I have maybe the average or below average exposure to society, my social life is at an okay point just because I've  managed to have to food based jobs but still community service is going to be a pain that is if I even find anything to attend...I don't know I just find it scary.

Don’t let the SAT control you or intimidate you. It’s just a test, I know it’s important but even if you don’t do well on it you can always retake it. The ACT is better though, I took both the SAT and the ACT and got a somewhat average score on it... it wasn’t enough to get me into the colleges I wanted to get into (I had an anxiety attack when I didn’t get in to the two colleges I applied for) but luckily one of the colleges I applied for actually let me know that if I get my scores up and my grades up in community college for 2 years and transfer over to their college there’s a damn good chance I’ll get in. So, I know there’s no off-switch to anxiety... trust me I know. But really the SAT’s and the ACT’s aren’t that big of a deal since you have other options, loopholes and second chances. So good luck with everything, I’m sure you’ll do great. Also a quick tip for the SAT or ACT: STUDY, study the quizzes or study guides on their websites. My biggest regret when I took the tests were that I didn’t really study as much as I should’ve and it kinda bit me in the . So make sure you study hard, don’t let the test intimidate you and I’m sure you’ll do wonderful.

So like, the SAT score doesn't matter as much as you think. And a lot more schools are accepting ACTs which I heard are better than SATs. You just have to make sure you have time for yourself to focus on you and your health. Take a spa day or relax in bed or watch your favorite show. Make lists and make personal deadlines for yourself. Make realistic goals foryourself. If you think you're an average student, don't make goals that seem unattainable, it will just discourage you. Take things in steps. Have a mentor or someone when you go to college that you can talk to. They don't have to be in the same major or anything, they can be in the same club. Being active on campus when you go helps. In high school, I only worked as a camp counselor up until college so it's totally fine. I'm going into my junior year of college. You might not do the best your first year but that's okay because college is an adjustment. I didn't do too well my freshman year of college but this past sophomore year, i got on dean's list both semesters. Your pace isn't everyone else's pace. Once you find how you work best, you'll start to succeed even more.

dude back in the days when i was in high school (grad student now yikes) i literally scored the average american score and still received a full ride scholarship from two privates though i attended none of them. why? because many schools has programs that assist the below average student or even average. i would look into your state programs for college because you never know what you will find. sats are not the end and if you need some websites to help you out or textbooks to help you out like the princeton review sat guides, let me know. i know sites that will sell the book for less than ten dollars completely new or even used with the shipping and handling included. there's a lot of resources out there and i extremely advocate to find your own or use the ones around you. resources are a reason for success, grades won't kill you.

We’re the same age, though i don’t think you should be stressed over the sats love.

my country doesn't have this stuff...but..NEVER LET THE EXAMS CONTROL U .
please find a tight guide to your studies--- what kind of studying helps you better to understand more and acquire information. don't do sleepless studies. always take breaks. free up yourself.

SAT will not kill you, college is a LOT more liberating than you think (depending on where you go and HOW YOU MAKE USE OF YOUR COLLEGE EXPERIENCE) and definitely get a job in retail or in cashiering/something to get you used to talking with strangers! this is coming from a stranger who’s been thru this and four years later, i’m still feeling anxious bc my senior year at college has me worried about post grad life (even thought i really shouldn’t be)
