Focus On Your Finals, Not Your Pain

This week is the week that all high school students dread; finals week.  The one thing that is worse than finals, is having Endo pain during finals.  This year I was very lucky to not have pain during finals (so far), but all week I can't help thinking about what I felt last year during this week.  Last year I had to face finals when I had the absolute worst pain.  I would get so distracted and couldn't even think.  This year, I am so thankful that it wasn't a repeat of last year.  This year I have been able to focus on the actual exam and not how much pain I was in.  Studying has been a lot easier and I am not as freaked out as I was last year.  So, here are some tips for finals with Endo pain:

1. Try not to get too stressed out.  Just breathe and relax.
2. Go slow, just study for one class at a time.
3. When taking the exam, read the directions carefully. 
4. Study with friends so they can help distract you.
5. Make study guides.
6. Create a study binder for all your classes so you have all your study information in one place.
7. Ask your teachers for as much help as they can give you.
8. Remember, it's not the end of the world, just try your best!
