I am sure everyone already knows this, but exam week is TOUGH! Especially when it is your first year at college and you just are not sure what to do. Besides studying and crying, of course. Even though exam week is filled with uncertainty and numerous other negative feelings, some good comes from it, too.
1. Feeling Lost.
You are lost and are unsure of which direction to go. These exams are not like high school SOL test, and studying right before the test is just not going to work. You just are not sure what your professors want all of the time and even after they try to clear up any confusion.
2. Your Mind Is Suddenly Blank.
Everything makes you frustrated, especially when it involves your computer. Chances are your exam may be online and you need your laptop for it, but it decides to freeze. Now your asking WHAT DO I DO NOW?
4. Doubting.
You start to wonder if you ever really knew what was going on in class. You can have a great grade and you still find a way to convince yourself that you never knew what you were doing.
5. Finally, You Stop Caring So Much.
Now it is to the point where you decide whatever happens will happen. You realize there is no reason to continue to stress yourself out because you cannot change what happens after the test. You will pass or you will fail.
6. You Start To Study Better.
You are now buckling down and starting to stop feeling so helpless. You hit the books hard and get some work done.
7. You Cannot Wait To Get Exams Over With.
The sooner you are done, the sooner you can leave.
8. You Are Determined To Pass
You do not want to retake any of those classes if you do not have to.
9. Finished!!!
You are done and get to go home!
10. Now You Wait
Unfortunately, you do not always get your grades back before you leave, so now you have to wait.
At least you can go home.
