40 Things Students Think Before An Exam
PA Boards

It's college. We all stress about exams, but it seems that most of us have the same thoughts before it gets down to the nitty gritty. Here are a few pre-exam thoughts that all of us have at one time or another.

(Two weeks away)

1. I'm gonna start studying now and kill this.

2. Lol, nah who am I kidding?

(One week away)

3.Okay for real this time...

4. I'm gonna start studying now and kill this.

5. Lol, nah who am I kidding?

(Four days away)

6. Third time's the charm.

7. I'm gonna start studying now and kill this.

8. Lol, nah who am I kidding?

(Day Before)

9. Wait, that's tomorrow?

10. It's okay I got this.

11. I definitely do not have this.

12. Why did I wait so long?

13. This study guide is gonna be nothing like the exam. Guaranteed.

14. (Calculates how low of grade I can get and pass)

15. I at least need a 67.2% to pass this class. Let's shoot for that.

16. Did everyone else put this off like me?

17. What can I do to not have to take it tomorrow?

18. I need caffeine.

19. What does RateMyProfessor say?

20. Should NOT have checked that.

21. It's 11:00pm already. What did I do this whole time?

22. I'm screwed.

23. Guess I'm gonna drop out now. Sorry mom.

24. Netflix and study?

25. I'm exhausted. These words look like hieroglyphics.

26. (Frantically group messages classmates) Guys, I'm not ready. Help. SOS.

27. (Gives up in shame and accepts probable fate in the morning.)

(Test Day Morning)

28. Can I study while eating?

29. Can I study while showering?

30. I don't have time for anything. Maybe someone will give me change for coffee because of how homeless I look.

31. Why on earth do we have to buy scantrons? Thousands in tuition can't buy me one of these magical pieces of paper?

32. How many shots of espresso will Starbucks give me in one drink?

33. I hope everyone bombs it so it's curved.

34. Can I still drop this class if I fail?(Walks into class)

35. Everyone looks calm. Oh no.

36. It's only 20% of my grade, no biggie.

( Professor walks in)

37. Those tests are thicker than the Bible.

38. (Insert weird superstition here)

39. He/she has to enjoy students suffering. No one can be that happy.

40. No going back now.

I've been at this college thing for almost three and a half years, and while I thought that high school was truly the lowest point of my existence, I'm beginning to realize that it was a walk in the park. Like, I miss the days when the biggest white lie I told my parents was my made up excuse about being late for fourth period.

NBC Universal

As most of us already know, Friends is one of the greatest television series ever produced. The cast is genius. The humor never gets old. The episodes are relatable and timeless.

I can easily say that I have watched each season at least three times and I belly laugh harder every time. All Friends fans can agree that there are certain lines that form a bond between us and when heard one cannot help but laugh.

The infamous RBF is something I have and am known for. It’s kind of exhausting to be asked if you're okay all the time or being told to smile more.

I used to think that having a Resting Bitch Face was only a bad thing until I realized that just like anything else, it also has its perks. Having a permafrown with a piercing look comes with great power.

Parks and Rec
IndieWire

We all know that Parks and Recreation is one of the greatest shows ever to air on TV. As we watched every episode, we all found a piece of us in each character (even Jerry). From the moment we met the pit, to the time we saw it flourish into a beautiful park, we all had developed a little bit of Pawnee, Indiana in our hearts.
