12 Stages Of Taking A Test You Know You're Going To Fail

There is nothing worse than walking into a room to take a test that you know you're not prepared for. Unless you're a super genius, almost every student has been in this situation at some point in their life. No matter how badly we may want to succeed on a test, we simply might not have the time in our busy lives to prepare for it the way we wanted to. That being said, here are the stages of taking a test you know you are going to fail (or at least not ace):

1. The second you walk into the room you're already overcome with fear of what lies ahead.


2. You're trying to calm yourself down, but you can't stop fidgeting.

3. When the teacher finally hands out the test, and you feel a little bit of relief because you're at least going to get points for your name.


4. And then you look at the first question and you feel as though you've never seen anything like it before.


5. You don't even know how to begin.

6. You start think about how your whole life is going to be failure because of one test.


7. All of the sudden you think you're gonna be able to bullsh*t your way through the test and do OK!

8. But of course you're still not confident, and this is the longest hour of your life.

9. The professor announces that there are only a few minutes left, and you realize a lot of your paper is still blank.


10. It's time to hand the in the test and you've done all you could do.


11. It's finally over and you just want to lay on the couch and watch Netflix for the rest of your life.


12. You look at your professor as you leave, who looks pleased with the trauma they has just inflicted on students and you never want to see them again.


Unfortunately, you're going to have to see them in a few days when you have class again. You promise yourself you will do much better the next time and that it was just one test, but still give yourself the day to wallow in self-pity.

18 Things I Want To Do Now That I'm 18

I'm technically an adult, so I'm legally required to live a little, right?

For the entirety of my high school career, I was always seen as the goody-two-shoes. I never got in trouble with a teacher, I kept stellar grades, and when I wasn't doing extracurricular activities, I was at home studying. Even when I did go out, it was usually with a bunch of fellow band geeks. The night would end before 11:00 PM and the only controversial activity would be a fight based on who unfairly won a round of Apples-to-Apples when someone else clearly had a better card (I promise I'm not still holding a grudge).

Now that I'm officially an adult, I want to pursue some new things. I want to experience life in a way that I never allowed myself to do prior to entering college. These are the years that I'm supposed to embark on a journey of self-discovery, so what better way to do that than to create a bucket list?
