Youngster: how do you cope with exams/anxiety/time management

“you can’t be tired,” chortles a middle aged family friend, “you’re young!”

“It’s funny. I still feel like a little girl . I’m still looking around to check and see what other people are doing to make sure I’m not completely different; I’m still looking around for help, hoping for a quick nudge and a whisper of advice.
