The Range of Emotions You Feel During A Math Test

I hate math. I just simply do not understand how math works. I am so jealous of everyone who is even remotely good at math, because I am just a pathetic mess when it comes time to take a math test. To prove my point I have set up 10 emotions that I go through during a math test.

1. The Let The Failing Begin Feeling...

When first receiving the math test and you look down and all that makes sense is the line that says "Name", the "I am definitely going to fail miserably," feeling sets in. This feeling always sucks but is almost inevitable, well at least for me.


2. After, I Quickly Accept Failure

When I know there is no chance...


3. When You Try And Scramble To Find An Answer...



4. A Brief Epiphany Occurs

Sometimes I realize that I actually know how to solve this problem and I try to write down my extremely messed up method of finding the answer with least possible actual math used.

5. Then The Crushing Feeling Of Failure Again...

When you get to the next problem and the previous feeling of failure consumes your whole being again.

6. When You Finally Reach An Answer With Some Form Of Logical Thought...

You've finally reached an answer that semi makes sense and you are so proud, but are not even sure you have the answer right.


7. You Get An Actual Answer But The Multiple Choice Says Other Wise...


8. Finally Reaching The End Of The Math Test...

Frantically, trying to finish the last problem on a math test when 1 minute is left in class.


9. The Bonus Question...

If you're lucky enough to get a bonus question or too that are absolutely ridiculous and ask the name of the professor or something. This is the point where you know these are the only two points you will be receiving on this test.


10.The I Am Free Feeling...

Basically, math test sucks and they're basically a torture punishment.

In an age where artificial intelligence can mimic the voice of Freddie Mercury or reimagine pop hits as synthwave ballads, a new frontier has emerged — one that blurs the line between innovation and erosion. While AI offers undeniable benefits in technical domains, its intrusion into creative arts, especially music, raises urgent questions. Not just about copyright, but about culture, education, and the very soul of artistic expression.

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.

Why Your Astrological Sign May Not Match Your Personality

We are all more than just one sign.

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.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

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.
