First of all, what an honour to kick off the Connect Wageningen Stress Stories! This one time I had to give a speech for bachelor-graduates as president of one of Wageningen’s Study Associations. Knowing beforehand that I am pretty good at making myself too nervous for unnecessary things, I tried to keep it cool. And the days before the speech, I was relatively calm… However, on D-Day itself, I woke up and the first thing I thought was ”Shit”. Well, I started the day nervous and it only got worse. The whole day, I was in a state of the worst nerves ever and the only thing I ate that day was a slice of pizza and three strings of spaghetti. In hindsight, I can really laugh about how much I actually panicked about nothing at all and I have really learned a lot from it. #Wageningen #WURLIFE #stresstories #wageningenuniversity #stressmanagement
