        @aurabogado @CAwkward Ask for a cookie/juice if you feel weak, even if it’s just anxiety. They usually have some on hand.

        @aurabogado Drink lots of water and bring a stress ball/something to squeeze in your other hand. Try to keep your breathing even during it.

        @aurabogado any kind of activity that takes your mind off helps. You can count or hum if they don't let you have a stress ball
