11 Thoughts You Have While Taking An Exam
CHOC Children's

We’ve all been there. You’re about to take a test that you aren’t prepared for. You find somewhere to sit, a copy of the exam is thrown on your desk, and your teacher commands you to start. While you’re taking this exam many different thoughts go through your head. So here they are, the 11 thoughts you have during an exam when you have no idea what’s going on.

1. You make sure you write your name on the paper.

Even if you miss every question, at least you may get some credit for showing up and putting your name.

2. You read the first question and realize you have no idea how to answer it.

At this point the panic sets in and you realize that your future may not be too bright.

3. You wish you studied more.

You realize that watching Netflix instead of studying wasn’t a good idea.

4. You say a prayer hoping for the answers.

You may or may not be religious, but hey it could never hurt to pray and ask for the answers to magically appear in your brain.

5. You look around the room to see if the teacher is looking in your direction.

Maybe if he isn’t looking, you could sneak a peek at your neighbor’s paper.

6. You see the teacher and realize he’s looking right at you.

Ok so maybe trying to cheat is not the best solution.

7. You wish you studied more.

Choosing Netflix over studying was definitely a terrible idea.

8. You glance at your neighbor and exchange the 'WTF' look.

You know the look. The did we actually learn any of this stuff look.

9. You debate with yourself about what grade you have to get to still pass the class.

Well even if I fail this exam, if I study really hard for the next one and get an A, then I still should be able to pass the class.

10. You wish you studied more, again.

You decide that when you get home you’re canceling your Netflix account so Law and Order SVU can’t distract you anymore.

11. You complete the exam and realize that no one thinks they did well.

You compare your answers to your friends and it turns out that everyone’s answers differ and no one thinks they passed.

Today I started my third week of college at Minnesota State Moorhead. I have survived welcome week, finding my classes on the first day, and being an awkward loner in the dining hall. Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.

For a moment your world is spinning. The phone alarm has just scared you awake and you’re flooded by daunting thoughts of the day ahead. You have three assignments due and little time to work on them because of your job. You’re running late because you’ve hit snooze one to many times after yesterday’s long hours. You dizzily reach for a hoodie, craving its comfort, and rush for a speedy exit, praying you will have time to pick up coffee. Does this sound familiar?
