The classic 6 pre-exam sentences

The faculty does not matter, the subject does not matter, the number of credits does not matter, the year of the course does not matter, and it does not even matter whether the goal is the highest grade or a decent promotion: when an exam approaches, students and students are all the same. I can’t get in the way myself, as I’ve been graduating for a while, but the memory of the sessions is still vivid in me and very, very painful. In short, I know perfectly well what it means to study at university, and how tiring, frustrating, disheartening and many other adjectives in “ante” can be.

The only miserable consolation: we are all in the same boat (and never mind if it is a makeshift raft floundering over troubling brown waters). Even the sentences that are said before an exam are always the same. And something tells me that you have said them all too, at least once. Here are what they are:

“I’ll never be able to finish the program.”
Let’s start with a great classic from every self-respecting exam session: the moment you realize you should have started studying weeks ago, when you were busy having an aperitif and taking naps, convinced that you still have plenty of time available. Spoiler: It wasn’t true.

“But did you explain this in class?”
In most cases, the answer to this question is yes, you just didn’t go to college that day because you were on a hangover, or you were too busy scrolling Instagram to pay attention. And now it’s your problem.

“Oh well, this will never ask.”
A scientific study conducted by a team of experts stated that there is a 99% chance that the professor will ask you the exact paragraph you skipped. I told you, then do your evaluations.

“I do not remember anything.”
You have spent the last few weeks studying, grinding page after page, preparing elaborate schemes, summarizing the summarized, repeating aloud until you are hated by the people who live with you. And, after all this mess, you feel like you haven’t memorized anything at all. Great, isn’t it?

“He sure fails me.”
The closer the exam gets, the more the panic grows, convincing you that you will never be able to pass it and that, on balance, it would be much better to drop everything and get rich with a chiringuito on an exotic beach. Which opens the way to the next question, that every college student worthy of the name gets at least two o’s
three times a day…

“But who made me do it to enroll in university?”
