Five Feelings After A Hard Test

College is hard.

Really, really hard. And sometimes, you just realize you're destined to fail.

And, once you come to that realization, you begin to go through grief. Well, kind of, because let's be honest, college students tend to be melodramatic.

Stage One: Denial

There's no way you did that bad...right?

Stage Two: Anger

Clearly, your professor is an evil jerk who's out to get you, and you are ENRAGED. It's totally not YOUR fault you failed.

Stage Three: Bargaining

Maybe if you date your professor he'll pass you.

Stage Four: Depression

You're never going to be a writer, and you're trash who's been reduced to writing lousy listicles because you're a failure who spent your whole week "studying" for that test you failed.

Stage Five: Acceptance

Eh, can't go back now. Might as well write a cheesy listicle so you don't miss your deadline.
