11 Thoughts You Have While Taking An Exam
CHOC Children's

We’ve all been there. You’re about to take a test that you aren’t prepared for. You find somewhere to sit, a copy of the exam is thrown on your desk, and your teacher commands you to start. While you’re taking this exam many different thoughts go through your head. So here they are, the 11 thoughts you have during an exam when you have no idea what’s going on.

1. You make sure you write your name on the paper.

Even if you miss every question, at least you may get some credit for showing up and putting your name.

2. You read the first question and realize you have no idea how to answer it.

At this point the panic sets in and you realize that your future may not be too bright.

3. You wish you studied more.

You realize that watching Netflix instead of studying wasn’t a good idea.

4. You say a prayer hoping for the answers.

You may or may not be religious, but hey it could never hurt to pray and ask for the answers to magically appear in your brain.

5. You look around the room to see if the teacher is looking in your direction.

Maybe if he isn’t looking, you could sneak a peek at your neighbor’s paper.

6. You see the teacher and realize he’s looking right at you.

Ok so maybe trying to cheat is not the best solution.

7. You wish you studied more.

Choosing Netflix over studying was definitely a terrible idea.

8. You glance at your neighbor and exchange the 'WTF' look.

You know the look. The did we actually learn any of this stuff look.

9. You debate with yourself about what grade you have to get to still pass the class.

Well even if I fail this exam, if I study really hard for the next one and get an A, then I still should be able to pass the class.

10. You wish you studied more, again.

You decide that when you get home you’re canceling your Netflix account so Law and Order SVU can’t distract you anymore.

11. You complete the exam and realize that no one thinks they did well.

You compare your answers to your friends and it turns out that everyone’s answers differ and no one thinks they passed.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
