10 Thoughts Going Through Your Mind After Taking That First Big Exam, BEFORE The Grades Are Posted

In This Article:

A while ago, I took my first educational psychology exam of the semester. Now, psychology is not my strongest subject, but this is a class that I know I have to take for my major because, well, I'm an education major. But after I finally turned in that exam, what happened after felt like a long time as I waited for the grades to be posted online. Here are ten things that were going through my mind the minute I stepped out of the classroom after finishing and double checking the exam.

1. Finally done. I did it. I survived.

2. Should I check my notes to see if I did remember the materials?

3. No, Maddie, don't. Just go back to your room.

4. But what about that one question about...

5. NO! STOP! WHAT'S DONE IS DONE!

6. It's the next day, and he still hasn't posted it.

7. I mean, it's Friday so he probably is still going over the bonus question.

8. It's been over 48 hours now and he STILL HASN'T POSTED!

9. Saturday night. Still hasn't posted. I'm getting a little stressed worrying now.

10. HE FINALLY POSTED PRAISE THE LORD! Wait, he posted the scored... OH, GOD!

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.
