High school can give you the toughest 4 years of your life. Just like most teenagers, I fell as a victim. It was the day before my chemistry final and I was stressed like never before. I was studying so much, I felt like my head could’ve exploded by the amount of information it contained. This test was going to be the death of me, I thought. Knowing that chemistry was one of my biggest weaknesses, I had a reason to freak out over this exam.
