exams are about to start so get ready to be stressed

Aug 23, 2016

School is almost over so you know what that means, final exams are coming. That means you have to start studying, and you are going to be in a ton of stress. Stress on getting a good grade and stress on knowing all the material.

It will be constant stress.

Here are the levels of stress that you may go through during exam time.

1. Two week before the exam

Your not that stressed, you have plenty of time to study and get all of your ducks in a row. This is where you start getting your things together, like flashcard and getting your study guide ready to study.

2. A week and a half till the exam

This point you are a little stressed. You only have a week and a half left. This is when you need to buckle down and really start to study.

3. A week till the exam

You are almost 100 stressed. You feel like you will not know anything at all on the test. You start to stay up till 2 in the morning and make sure you know everything that is on the test.

4.Three days till the exam

You are 98 stressed at this time. You are worried you will not do well or you will ace the exam. You need to ace the exam to get an A in the class. You will either do well on the exam or you will not do so well on the exam.

5.The day before the exam

You are 100 percent stressed, but not quite there yet. You still have a lot of studying to do before the big day. You pull an all nighter not just staying up till 2 in the morning.

6.The morning of the exam

This is the point you are still 100 percent stressed. You get your last minute studying in before you go into the classroom.

7.Five minutes till the exam

You are still 100 percent stressed. This is when you get your pencils, erasers, paper, and calculator, if you need one ready to start the exam.

8.The teacher has entered the room

The teacher is starting to hand out the exam and you are a little stressed because of the teacher just handed out the test, and you write your name and date on the top of the paper, then you start the final exam.

9. Your almost done with the exam

You are not that stressed anymore because you know everything that is on the test. You feel really solid on the work that you have done on the exam. You turn it into the teacher and you feel like you did really well on it.

10. Just after the exam

You are 100 percent stressed again because you want to see your grade and it wont be up online till later that day or the next day. You know get worried that you did not do so well on the exam.

Anticipating The End Of Your First Semester, As Told By April Ludgate

"I don't want to do things. I want to not do things."

National Writers Society

Everyone who is in college right now, or has ever been, knows the struggle of pulling in the strings at the last second. It seems impossible, and you have to do a LOT of things in order to assure your future for the next semester.

April Ludgate, historically, is a very annoyed person, and she doesn't hide it. Of all the times that I binged and re-binged "Parks and Rec," her attitude relates more and more to me.

To The Cheerful Person On Their Rainy Days, You Are Valid

The world is not always sunshine and rainbows, and you do not have to be, either.

Ask friends of mine to name a quality about me, and one a lot them will point out the fact that I am almost always smiling. I like to laugh and smile -- not to quote Buddy the Elf in April, but smiling is my favorite! It is probably my favorite go-to expression. However, what a lot of people do not see is that I have my down days. I have days when smiling and laughing is a real struggle, or when I have so much on my plate that going out of my way to behappy takes more effort than I have stored in me. Be it a symptom of college and growing up or a facet of life, I cannot always be content.

"I don't want to do things. I want to not do things."

1. When you look at the syllabus and realize there are only three weeks of the semester left; even though the first day was LITERALLY yesterday.

2. You look at your grades and realize they probably aren't as high as they should be, which is a terrifying realization.

3. When you think to yourself at night, "tomorrow, I will wake up early and go to the library ALL day, and, hell, maybe after I'll go to the gym for a little bit, just to push myself that extra mile."

4. Tomorrow actually comes. The inevitable and overpowering sense of procrastination is too strong to overcome.

5. But you DO end up going to the library. Not all day though, but still, a while. But no, you do not go to the gym. Still, you made an effort, so you decide to treat yo' self.

6. When you realize you need to schedule a meeting with your adviser because you need to sign up for classes next semester. But you also realize that since you waited until the last minute, you're going to get stuck with all of the crappy classes.

7. When you low-key try to slip into conversation with your professors that you need extra credit because you're that desperate.

8. When it's already the third time you've seen your adviser in two days because you have no damn clue what you're doing and need all the help you can get.

9. When you apply for a job associated with your major even though you have no experience, but you just want to dive headfirst into the deep end of adulthood and get it over with.

The world is not always sunshine and rainbows, and you do not have to be, either.
