How to avoid exam stress or anxiety?
Many of us experience the so-called “exam anxiety or stress”. This is one of the problems, especially among students. I think it is just a natural occurrence because it’s man’s nature to fear failures. Sometimes, anxiety can also be our drive for excellence. We get anxious, and anxiety pressures us to do better.

Mental block is not just an effect of caffeine overdose, or a sleepless night, but also anxiety over the exam per se can cause it.
1. Have your own study habits and make sure that they will work for you. No two people have the same study habit, one’s ways may not work on the other. The importance of having your own study habits is it makes everything organized, and when organization can make you relax and concentrate more. You will less likely miss out the important things you should learn.
2. Avoid cramming. Cramming means pressure, and pressure means anxiety. When you cram, you tend to forget other important things to learn.

1. Where did you grow up, and what made that place special?
I grew up on Katipunan, and it’s the best place to grow up on earth! Growing up on a university belt is to grow up in a place that’s forever dynamic and young. Plus, there are a million cheap restaurants to eat at, and every service in earth available, from book-binding to printing tarpaulin. Plus, you always have a beautiful place to escape to, either Ateneo or UP campus. Katipunera forever!
2. What was your favorite tv show, cartoon, or children’s show growing up? What did you like about these shows that made them your favorite?
I watched Jem and the Holograms religiously. She was Barbie gone glamrock! Ang cool lang niya talaga. She had everything, a glampop band, big pink hair, high-tech earrings, and a boyfriend who was in love with both her and her alter-ego. I have 3 Jem t-shirts 
Oh, and I also loved SHAIDER, and came as Annie for Halloween 2 years ago. My boyfriend was Shaider, and we won 10,000 pesos at a costume contest for it.
