11 Things You Experience When You Take THAT Exam

We all know what it's like to take that one test you've been dreading and sometimes it's not all that fun.

We've all been there. We all know what it's like going in to take that one test we've been dreading for the last couple weeks. If you are a sufferer of any form of test anxiety, or are just not one to study, like me, fear and trepidation in all their forms take over our minds as we question all that we do before sitting down to take that test.

Let me set the scene that most of us know all too well ...

We woke up early in the morning, feeling less like P-Diddy and more like a zombie from "The Walking Dead." Silently cursing our procrastination, we shuffle to class with legitimate fear in our hearts, as we are seemingly running on pure adrenaline. We then, hesitantly bubble in our names on the scan-tron and wait, what feels like a million years, to be handed that exam. If you're lucky, your hard work and studying pays off. If not, I get you. We all have those days. It is these feelings we will never forget ...

1. The night before the test you spend either studying all night long ... or sometimes not at all. Either way, you feel pretty drained from all the worry and stress and you gotta say no to the things you really wanna do.

2. The walk to class is not as inviting as it normally is. The air is thick, time moves slower, sounds are louder ... that might also be your heart pumping a mile a minute too.

3. It is as if fate is mocking you, as that stack of paper your professor calls a test is placed before you.

4. We sometimes have those moments when the thing we spent the least amount of time studying for somehow makes up half the test. How on earth does that happen?! How do they know!?


5. Then, we spend time questioning ourselves, asking why we didn't really buckle down and study more instead of watch Netflix. Don't lie, I know you do it.


6. But then, there are some questions you actually can answer and its like you get an extra day to celebrate your birthday! Unless, it is your birthday on the day you take the test ... I can't help you there.

7. You use the last few minutes to count up all the answers you believe you got wrong.

8. You did it! You made it out! This is the time where we all sigh that big sigh of relief as we drag our feet out of the classroom, but at least you got it done!

10. You may have done well ... or not so well, but the test is finally over and you can relax. Thankfully, we know that our self worth isn't tied to how well we do on a test. It really comes down to our efforts and drive to do the best in all we do!

Because you deserve it!

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.

Top 10 Reasons My School Rocks!

Why I Chose a Small School Over a Big University.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
