The end of the year is often called the “silly season” - a time of celebration, family, and joy. But for many people, it is also one of the most emotionally and financially demanding times of the year. Between social obligations, gift-buying, travel plans, and family expectations, it is easy to lose the very peace we are supposed to be celebrating.

Exams are often described as a “normal” part of life - but for many students (and their parents), they can feel anything but normal. The pressure to perform, the long hours, and the fear of not meeting expectations can take a real toll on mental health. Understanding how stress affects us and using practical coping tools can make this period more manageable - and even a time for growth.
