No idea how to deal with this anxiety, I'm anxious all the time. Just (try to) get a good sleep today and everything will be ok. I know you'll pass it
(I have some comfort pc games/movies for times like this but maybe it's the reason I don't study enough

omg good luck 😭😭 uni is so hard i don't blame you at all, what matters is that you're doing your best and the rest is not up to you anymore

and also thank you, i appreciate your words!! i am a bit calmer right now and i will try to get a few hours of sleep tonight since the exam is at 1 PM anyway so i can wake up a bit late and still revise a little before it
what movies and games would you suggest? and tbh its better to just do something else to wind down when youre anxious than try to study mindlessly and not register anything anyway so youre good

this is actually a very good mindset to have, thank you! <3 you're right I did all I could so no regrets there
now if I fail I fail, I will just retake it until I pass it

Oh I don't think I could suggest anything good for you, it's personal experience which makes it comfort things for me.
And well it's Mad God(2021) stop motion film lol. I do think it's really good but damn existential crisis on the first watch hit me like a truck. No idea why it's comfort movie for me now

My fav games are Dishonored and Bioshock Infinite. Just listening to Infinite's 'Will the circle be unbroken' song always makes me little teary
