And most of all, when you feel like you are going to freak out, take some time off. Do whatever you think is fun. Whether it's driving around listening to Friday Night 80's on Star 94 or fencing, do it. Give yourself that chance to relax. Remember that many times you look back on what you were stressed about and can't believe you even cared.
Life can be fun.
Life can be good. As long as you don't take it too seriously and remember how to have a good time. Originally published in Vol. 91, Issue No. 11, November 18, 1999.
