Stress from 500 word essay

I have a 500 word essay due on friday and I'm honestly so stressed about it. I wrote 127 words already however I can't even workout or eat. I was squatting this morning and all I could think about was my essay. I broke my form because of it and it's like I don't even want to make gains. While eating my oats after, I threw up because I got really anxious about writing my 500 word essay.

Can anyone give me suggestions about my 500 word essay?

Trust me, 500 words is not that much, although it does sound long in number, it's actually pretty short, don't be anxious my friend, because with courage, YOU CAN CONQUER THE WORLD! (Otaku words xD)

If you somehow managed to get through high school without actually learning how to write essays (let alone an easy 500 word one), then you have some serious issues here....

Quit trolling and get back to writing that essay.

I think you're overthinking it.

This is 500 words right here for reference: http://pastebin.com/fpWwpLHn

If you summarise your thoughts without elaborating on them, that should take up a huge portion of the essay you need to write. For the remaining words, you can expand on those ideas and before you know it, you have yourself a 500 word essay.

You are not in college. Freshman English in college basically requires you to write in-class essays over 1000 words in 1 hr.

What grade you in? Because...
a)500 words is like 2 pages....easy stuff for someone in highschool, probably.
b)If you're in a lower grade than why are you given word count requirements...

Meanwhile I haven't even started two math assignments that are due tomorrow. I also haven't gone to my last two lectures for both those math classes. And I'm here on basil typing about it.

Think about college when you'll have to write 10 page papers. 500 words is nothing. It's like a page and a half double-spaced.
