The only thing worse than sitting an exam, is sitting an exam that you haven’t prepared for. Take it from me, it's not a fun time.
If you’ve been there, done that, and lived to tell the tale, then you’ve probably had these 51 thoughts:
1. What’s the worst that could happen right?
2. I mean I could fail, bring shame upon my entire family, and be the laughing stock of my year but let’s stay positive.
4. If I pull this off, I will be a legend.
5. I’d go down in history as one of the greatest of all time – I’d be an icon.
6. Who knows, maybe I can actually do this.
7. Diamonds are made under pressure after all.
10. Fuck, I don’t even know the answer to the first question.
11. ...Or the second or third.
13. I think I’ve made a huge mistake.
14. You know what, maybe this wasn’t the smartest decision.
15. Do I have regrets? Yes.
16. Am I completely screwed? Also, yes.
17. I just need to pass at this point, that's not impossible right?
18. Surely I’m not the first person to do this and live to tell the tale.
19. But how did they do it?
20. It’s definitely time to start praying.
21. Perhaps I won’t fail miserably, miracles happen EVERY DAY.
23. Oh look, more questions I don’t know the answers to.
24. Change of plan, there is absolutely no way I can do this.
25. Maybe I should fake an injury to get out of this predicament?
26. I could pretend to faint.
27. ...Or start crying hysterically, that might do the trick.
28. ...Or perhaps I’ll go into cardiac arrest from all the stress. One can only hope.
29. Maybe I should’ve just studied.
30. I definitely should have studied.
32. A breakdown really isn’t going to help right now so don’t freak out.
33. Let’s think logically. I put 'A' for the last three answers, so this one has to be 'B', right?
34. Yeah, I’m pretty confident it’s 'B'.
35. ...Unless they’re trying to trick me.
36. Oh God, this is my worst nightmare.
37. Why can’t I remember anything I’ve ever learnt?
38. What an awful time to realise you have the memory of a goldfish.
39. One of these answers has to be correct, so just pick one.
41. Maybe I should have a quick peek at what the person next to me is doing...
42. But then I’d be a failure and a cheater. That’s double homicide.
43. This really is all panic and no disco.
44. My family are going to disown me.
45. You know what, I am going to disown me.
46. Why did I ever think this was a good idea?
47. What actually possessed me to walk into this exam room without studying a damn thing? Who do I think I am?
48. There goes my future.
50. That was enough stress to last an entire lifetime.
51. I’m never doing that again!
