14. THE PHILOSOPHY OF STRESS
• The easiest way to avoid this stress would be to properly plan out your time and organize yourself.
You know, study after class, start assignments right away and read whenever you can. But you are
not that kind of person. You save your work until the last minute. You waste time. And so you are
stressed.
• But why did you wait until the last minute? Why are you now up at five in the morning, drinking
your seventh energy drink? Some people work better under stress. Or so they say. In reality it’s
hard to face such a heavy workload without being stressed, so we procrastinate.
• Of course there are things we can do to help this, whether it’s going out with friends, working out
at the gym or having a smoke. While I believe we should all have relief valves for our stress, it’s
most important that we develop the right lifestyle.
