Dear Angel,

This is for stress, from school specifically.

Let me tell you a story...

This past week, I was having a really busy week, as in lots of test, lots of homework, barely enough time to study. It was a mess and I was extremely stressed! So I decided to do try and take a day off from homework.

 So on Wednesday, today is currently Saturday, I chose to do Wednesday's and Thursday's homework, and I managed too...until Thursday morning when I realized I still had to do another essay for world studies, which was due on Friday.

Then when I actually went to school, it seemed like all my teachers had decided to add at least one more piece of homework that took at least 15 minutes to do. I ended up staying up until 11:30pm. and the night before I had stayed up until midnight, and adding those to waking up at 6:00am, it did not end well.

So on Thursday night, when my mom had finally come home, she yelled at me for not doing the dishes, and if you add that to all the stress I was under, I finally cracked. Luckily I wasn't wearing makeup, because I was having a mental breakdown, sobbing. I had one last year, in seventh grade too, because I had all advanced last year too, and not only was this year all advanced, it was also college-prep, and 4/6 of my classes counted for a high school credit.

After having my little scene, my amazing mother decided that I could have a what she called "a college-prep night". Basically it was a stress-free, fun night, where I saw a movie, and then went out for pizza, and slept in the next day.

Let me just say, that I really needed it.

Sometimes you just need to take a day off from all the stress, and relax.

So that is exactly what I did. I came home from school, ate popcorn, read part of a book, took a nap, went to see a movie i wanted too see, and then got pizza!

But after having this little experience, I have realized that sometimes stress can be too much and you just need to get 'good riddens' of it. So cry! Have a mental breakdown, because that is a healthy way to handle it. I will always be there as a shoulder to cry one, like my mom for me.

I love you if sea creatures-walk on land, and ground-walkers swim in the ocean.

Love, Mom ♥
