THAT IS THE BIGGEST LIE EVER.
What they really should've said was there's nothing like the
stress of the week after exams.
After you finish that last exam, you turn it in with either
a smug, little smile on your face knowing that you owned it or it owned you.
Either way, you feel pretty confident overall. Maybe. You then spend the next
weekend reveling in the blissful freedom of no work, no deadlines, and the
rediscovered ability to sleep. It's pretty much the best.
You walk into school knowing that you get your grades back
today. There's a slight nagging feeling that you should've studied a little
more for that one exam, but then you banish the thought with a quick burst of
semi-misplaced self-confidence. You got this.
Then the “Steps of How Your Life Gets Slowly Ruined” begins.
Step 1. You are waiting for the exam back, thinking about
how it went. Mehh I think I did ok on this? Come on, it can't be that bad.
Step 2. Get the exam
back.
Step 3. Realize that you’ve done horrible and you’re going
to die. But knowing the full extent of your exam’s merciless harassment, it won’t let you have a
quick and painless death.
Step 3.5. Since your mind is blowing circuits, it decides to
think “you know what you haven’t thought about in a while? Everything else you
suck at. Have a nice day!” Wonderful.
Step 4. Your mind begins the spiral of the illogical end
that you will face. Because of the exam, you will be laughed out of school. You
will never get into college because you’ve been put on a “most wanted” poster. And
not in a good way. Then somehow you will become homeless.
Step 5. You die, thus meeting your demise all because your 1st
semester physics exam sucked.
After recovering from the shock, you think, “alright how can
I make this all better? Oh I know, I’ll just work and the grade will be better!”
Yes. Perfect. Then you realize that there is
no work to do because the semester is over so you really can’t do anything.
You die.
The End.
Keep Smiling!
