Exam Mayhem

Emily Phillips

The dreaded time of exams is coming upon us. Anyone facing AP classes has been preparing for this moment since the beginning of the year. Studying hard, stress-eating, and an average of four hours of sleep per night is the only way to survive now. Brace yourself. Test days are coming.

Most students that will be taking the exams are facing unearthly amounts of anxiety. Assignments are piling up as procrastination to finish them increases, and more times than any this year I have heard the phrase, “I should just drop out.” This worry and doubt felt by examinees has spread like an infection throughout the school.

Haley Harper says, “Nobody’s prepared. Nobody.”

Tensions are high, and all we can do now is study, hope, and pray for a miracle. For those who are feeling confident, you must be the luckiest minority on the planet. My congratulations to you. To everyone else in a state of panic, we shall go to war and face the battle together.

Whether students are cramming their heads into books, falling asleep in class, ignoring their fate
altogether, or clinging on to some last bit of faith that there is a light at the end of the tunnel, we will finish. We will get through exams. After that? Heck, our lives become easy as cake. Hold in there, Lloyd. AP is almost over.
