High School

Hey bloggers! This is your friendly neighborhood N.A.B.B tuning in! If you ask anyone in my high school what is the most stressful time of the year, you would get a unanimous answer; the end of the year. There are various reasons for this incredible phenomenon. For starters, the final tests are taken at this point of the year. This world class torture consists of seating in a classroom for a total of 10 hours, either watching your grade plummet, or working your but off in order to complete the test and get a reasonable grade. If this is not bad enough, the test is worth 20% of your whole grade, making studying a vital part of this exam. As a result, one spends countless of boring hours studying to get a mediocre grade. The stress this creates if, without a doubt, one of a kind.

To top this off, the end of the means, for all students in international schools, the last few weeks with valuable friends who are moving away forever. Naturally, close friends seek to spend as much time together as humanely possible, even if it means living together for the last days! Unfortunately, these plans are usually prevented by the horrible monster known as finals. So, some people get frustrated by the fact that someone will leave forever, and instead of taking advantage of the last days with that person, they are stuck at home with their heads in books. The anxiety this creates is usually overlooked by those in the educational institutions, and can even cause a decline grades.

As see, there are many factors which are constantly tossing and turning in the wild ocean of random ideas that is the mind of a typical high school student. And, unfortunately, we have to learn how to deal with it, since the future is not looking too bright when it comes to the elimination of final exams!

  Thanks for tuning in on N.A.B.B!
