11 Things You Experience When You Take THAT Exam

We all know what it's like to take that one test you've been dreading and sometimes it's not all that fun.

We've all been there. We all know what it's like going in to take that one test we've been dreading for the last couple weeks. If you are a sufferer of any form of test anxiety, or are just not one to study, like me, fear and trepidation in all their forms take over our minds as we question all that we do before sitting down to take that test.

Let me set the scene that most of us know all too well ...

We woke up early in the morning, feeling less like P-Diddy and more like a zombie from "The Walking Dead." Silently cursing our procrastination, we shuffle to class with legitimate fear in our hearts, as we are seemingly running on pure adrenaline. We then, hesitantly bubble in our names on the scan-tron and wait, what feels like a million years, to be handed that exam. If you're lucky, your hard work and studying pays off. If not, I get you. We all have those days. It is these feelings we will never forget ...

1. The night before the test you spend either studying all night long ... or sometimes not at all. Either way, you feel pretty drained from all the worry and stress and you gotta say no to the things you really wanna do.

2. The walk to class is not as inviting as it normally is. The air is thick, time moves slower, sounds are louder ... that might also be your heart pumping a mile a minute too.

3. It is as if fate is mocking you, as that stack of paper your professor calls a test is placed before you.

4. We sometimes have those moments when the thing we spent the least amount of time studying for somehow makes up half the test. How on earth does that happen?! How do they know!?


5. Then, we spend time questioning ourselves, asking why we didn't really buckle down and study more instead of watch Netflix. Don't lie, I know you do it.


6. But then, there are some questions you actually can answer and its like you get an extra day to celebrate your birthday! Unless, it is your birthday on the day you take the test ... I can't help you there.

7. You use the last few minutes to count up all the answers you believe you got wrong.

8. You did it! You made it out! This is the time where we all sigh that big sigh of relief as we drag our feet out of the classroom, but at least you got it done!

10. You may have done well ... or not so well, but the test is finally over and you can relax. Thankfully, we know that our self worth isn't tied to how well we do on a test. It really comes down to our efforts and drive to do the best in all we do!

Because you deserve it!

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.
