Exams are not happy times

Exams suck. Seriously. What's the point? Students spend hours and days cramming information into their heads and battling nerves and anxiety, only to forget it all once the exam is over. Putting such emphasis on exams is silly. It's not the best way to learn, its the best way to stress. Of course. I can see the point and everything, but right now, during finals of my second year in university, I have never felt so unwell. The stress is eating away at me and I haven't slept well in days. And when I do manage to fall asleep, I'm startled awake by dreams of failing the exams.
Maybe I'm the only one who feels this stressed, but I doubt it. So I end up procrastinating, simply because I know I will feel such immense pressure and I want to prolong it as much as possible.
So now I'm at that point, I have stomach cramps, I can't sleep, and everything feels like the end of the world. Maybe that's my own problem and has nothing to do with exams and everything to do with my own anxieties. Oh well. Its not the end of the world. Life doesn't cease for these small things.
