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.

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

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.
