How to deal with stress.
Stress symptoms include mental, social, and physical manifestations. These include exhaustion, loss of/increased appetite, headaches, crying, sleeplessness, and oversleeping. Escape through alcohol, drugs, or other compulsive behavior are often indications. Feelings of alarm, frustration, or apathy may accompany stress.
If you feel that stress is affecting your studies,a first option is to seek help through your educational counseling center.
What you can do to manage your stress?
Look around
See if there really is something you can change or control in the situation.
Set realistic goals for yourself
Reduce the number of events going on in your life and you may reduce the circuit overload.
Remove yourself from the stressful situation
Give yourself a break if only for a few moments daily.
Don't overwhelm yourselfby fretting about your entire workload.
Handle each task as it comes, or selectively deal with matters in some priority.
Don't sweat the small stuff
Try to prioritize a few truly important things and let the rest slide.
Learn how to best relax yourself
Meditation and breathing exercises have been proven to be very effective in controlling stress. Practice clearing your mind of disturbing thoughts.Selectively change the way you react,but not too much at one time. Focus on one troublesome thing and manage your reactions to it/him/her
Change the way you see your situation, seek alternative viewpoints
Stress is a reaction to events and problems, and you can lock yourself in to one way of viewing your situation. Seek an outside perspective of the situation, compare it with yours. and perhaps lessen your reaction to these conditions.
Avoid extreme reactions
Why hate when a little dislike will do? Why generate anxiety when you can be nervous? Why rage when anger will do the job? Why be depressed when you can just be sad?
Do something for others
to help get your mind off your self.
Get enough sleep
Lack of rest just aggravates stress.
Work off stress
with physical activity, whether it's jogging, tennis, gardening.
Avoid self-medication or escape
Alcohol and drugs can mask stress. They don't help deal with the problems.
Begin to manage the effects of stress
This is a long range strategy of adapting to your situation, and the effects of stress in your life. Try to isolate and work with one "effect" at a time. Don't overwhelm yourself. for example, if you are not sleeping well, seek help on this one problem.
Try to be positive
Give yourself messages as to how well you can cope rather than how horrible everything is going to be.
"Stress can actually help memory, provided it is short-term and not too severe. Stress causes more glucose to be delivered to the brain, which makes more energy available to neurons. This, in turn, enhances memory formation and retrieval. On the other hand, if stress is prolonged, it can impede the glucose delivery and disrupt memory."
Most importantly,
if stress is putting you in an unmanageable state or interfering with your schoolwork, social and/or work life, seek professional help at your school counseling center.

Which course is right for you ?
Whether you've just finished your SPM/STPM/A levels or even if you're still studying, it's never too early to start thinking about a course of study at university or a career you would like to get into. If you don't know where to start, let the questions and guides below help you.
1) What kind of subjects do you like in school?Which class do you look forward to attending everyday or every week?
Guide :
a)If you like technical subjects like mathematics and science, you can consider science-based or research-based courses.
b)If you like languages, you can consider communication, law or language-based courses.
c)If you like subjects that involve calculations, you can consider courses that deal with numbers like accountancy, economics or actuarial science.
d)If you like art, you can consider creative courses like fine art, graphic design, web design or multimedia.
2)Which subjects do you usually score high marks in?
Guide :
a)While it's important to have interest in a subject, it's equally important to be able to do well in it. Therefore, you need to know if your interests match you abilities. For example, engineering might not suit you if you keep failing physics, or if you like art but you can't draw.
3)What kind of career or work industry in which you would like to see yourself? Can you identify with any career? Do you like a particular work industry?
Guide :
a)As some courses of study are more closely linked to a career than others, you could actually narrow your choices of a course of study though identifying the career or work industry you want to be in. Think whether you'd like to work with one or combination of the following in future :
1)People - careers in this category include sales, marketing, consultancy, communications, education, medicine, entertainment, hospitality, tourism etc.
2)Information - careers in this category include accountancy, IT, finance, banking, insurance, science and technology, research, consultancy etc.
3)Words - careers in this category include law, printing and publishing, journalism, writing, translations, interpretation, information management.
4)Objects - careers in this category include engineering, archeology, architecture, built environment, art, research, science etc.
As entry requirements for courses vary from university to university, you need to ensure that you meet the entry requirements in order to get into the courses of your choice. Generally, students in the science stream can choose to go into both arts-based and science-based courses whereas arts students can go into arts-based courses only because more technical courses like engineering requires students to have prior knowledge in physics and mathematics.
However, courses like IT accepts students from both streams. Besides, places for certain courses like medicine are limited so you need very good grades to secure a place. Apart from that, you also need good grades to secure places in overseas universities that are ranked highly.
I hope that the above questions and answers have set you thinking about a course and career.
