Your friendly neighborhood Spider-man here with a message to those stressed about those pesky, villainous exams: Strive not to worry about the finals which you have completed or the ones which lay ahead. Here are some important things to remember: 1) You may do better than you expect. Some of you may be able to confirm this from past experiences. 2) Try to have fun with your finals. Think of them as games and your classmates as comrades, comrades whom you aren't competing with, you're all in this together. All each of you have to do is your personal best, that's all. You're in the same boat. ☺ 3) You know that saying of "pretend everyone is only wearing underwear?" Well, that never worked for me, even with public speaking. So don't do that. Unless you want to randomly burst out laughing from uncomfortableness during your exams! But seriously, can you imagine if everyone showed up in only their underwear on exam day and went about acting normally, as if they were oblivious to their situation and only you realized that they forgot the rest of their clothes at home, on that day? That would be an awkward situation. Like I said, don't think about it unless you really, really want to laugh! (Laughing could ease the tension though ;-) ) 4) Even if you find out, for sure, that you didn't do well on an exam, it's going to be OKAY. ☺ Your previous work in the class may balance it out. If not, then it's still going to be okay; This is THE worst case scenario and NOT the most likely. Yes, you may have to retake the class in this scenario BUT it does NOT mean it's the end of the world OR your future career, definitely not! If you're worried because you're maintaining a scholarship, and IF you lose THAT particular scholarship, then you WILL be able to get a loan as you get up, brush yourself off, and continue on towards your path, towards triumph. You ARE going to be okay. You got this! 💪 ☺ Okay...even Spidey has to do some school work now. See you later! 👋☺

It starts off thematically dark but it ultimately contains hope and inspiration.
