We all have that one class where you know the final will be rough. Or maybe that's all of your classes. Whatever the case may be, we have all been there at some point. There are those times where you walk out of a final and know deep down that you failed...or at least did not as well as you hoped. You do the walk of shame out of the classroom after you handed your exam in and go find some sort of comfort. There are a few things you can do to make yourself feel better.

1. Comfort food

Sometimes you just need to eat the stress of your pending GPA away. Whether that food is french fries or a nice plate of mac and cheese, it is a well-deserved treat for you from you.

2. Cry

Crying doesn't get enough credit. Sometimes you just have to let out a good cry before getting over it so you can start studying for the next exam. Let it out. It may seem like the end of the world now, but when you are walking across the stage to get your diploma at the end of all this, no one will remember this one exam.

3. Wallow in self-pity

It's okay to feel sorry for yourself. You work hard, you deserve to feel bad for a rough test. Think of all the answers you think you got wrong. It's okay. We live and learn.

4. Relax

That's right. Just relax. You deserve it. Take care of yourself before you start studying for the next exam. Your brain needs a break, you need a break; just give yourself one! It is well-deserved and it will keep you refreshed and ready to retain information for your next test.

5. Sleep

That's one more thing you don't have to worry about. The final is over, you can focus on either another final, or what your summer will consist of. So take that well-earned good night's rest and sleep the full eight hours we were deprived of all semester.

One of my biggest pet peeves is when someone does not try to help their self before asking others. How can someone else be expected to help you if you do not first do that yourself? I'm all about helping those that need it when the time comes, however whenever someone does not even attempt to help him or herself first then that becomes a huge problem. As we all have learned, people tend to take advantage of us in one way or another. I am sure we all read this short story when we were younger and it follows that same principle:
