Dear Destiny, Tests are scary.

Dear Destiny,
Tests are scary, and that's no metaphor. Having just returned from the second big admissions test that I've had to take this summer, I very literally mean that I spent the first few minutes of the test paralyzed with fear; unable to think about the questions in front of me and having the fight or flight debate in my head! Somehow I convinced myself to finish the test, but I've been thinking a lot about the root of that gripping fear I felt (er, am still feeling). Here's what I've come up with: fear of the future (nah), fear of failure (meh), fear of the unknown (maybe), fear of missing out on the opportunities I want the most because i didn't perform well enough on a test (nail on the head). So destiny, despite how I did on the test, don't let me down - because I haven't given up on you yet!
