12 Stages Of Taking A Test You Know You're Going To Fail

There is nothing worse than walking into a room to take a test that you know you're not prepared for. Unless you're a super genius, almost every student has been in this situation at some point in their life. No matter how badly we may want to succeed on a test, we simply might not have the time in our busy lives to prepare for it the way we wanted to. That being said, here are the stages of taking a test you know you are going to fail (or at least not ace):

1. The second you walk into the room you're already overcome with fear of what lies ahead.


2. You're trying to calm yourself down, but you can't stop fidgeting.

3. When the teacher finally hands out the test, and you feel a little bit of relief because you're at least going to get points for your name.


4. And then you look at the first question and you feel as though you've never seen anything like it before.


5. You don't even know how to begin.

6. You start think about how your whole life is going to be failure because of one test.


7. All of the sudden you think you're gonna be able to bullsh*t your way through the test and do OK!

8. But of course you're still not confident, and this is the longest hour of your life.

9. The professor announces that there are only a few minutes left, and you realize a lot of your paper is still blank.


10. It's time to hand the in the test and you've done all you could do.


11. It's finally over and you just want to lay on the couch and watch Netflix for the rest of your life.


12. You look at your professor as you leave, who looks pleased with the trauma they has just inflicted on students and you never want to see them again.


Unfortunately, you're going to have to see them in a few days when you have class again. You promise yourself you will do much better the next time and that it was just one test, but still give yourself the day to wallow in self-pity.

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.

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.
