How to stay *All Smiles* through those hectic end-of-year sitches
LET’S GET REAL: Even on a good day, stress is almost unavoidable. But around this time of year—as finals, playoffs and other major events (hello, prom!) loom in the not-so-distant future—the pressure just piles on.
So how can you escape unscathed? Here’s our advice for keeping calm and carrying on—no matter how big the stress storm.
STRESSY SITCH: You’re so far behind in Spanish, it’s driving you muy loco. If you don’t do something quickly, you might not even pass the class.
HANDLE IT: Bring your worries to your teacher’s attention. Tell her why you’re having such a tough time—and ask what you can do to catch up. Maybe she’ll offer some extra-credit work or time after school to help you finally figure out those conjugations. Asking around about a tutor is a good move, too. Whatever you do, don’t struggle in silence, señorita.
STRESSY SITCH: You choke at the worst moments—like standing at the free-throw line, preparing to sing your state choir solo or getting up in front of the class to give your oral history report.
