How You Feel Before, During and After an Exam

This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at U Vic chapter.

You’re nervous for the exam

and sleep deprived from the cramming you did the night before

and your blood is pumping 1L of caffeine.

Nevertheless, you’re confident.

Then as you turn the first page your face is like

and your brain loses everything. So you start freaking out

because you’re sure that you’re going to fail.

But when you leave the exam, you feel like a weight has been lifted from your shoulders.

That is, until you realize that your marks will be up in less than a week.

Femi Tunde-Oladepo is in her final year at the University of Victoria where she is studying at the Peter B. Gustavson School of Business. After her undergrad, Femi hopes to read law and master French, Spanish and Italian. She is an active volunteer in her community and enjoys working with the Rotaract Club on campus. Having filled numerous notebooks as a child, Femi adores writing — especially short stories. She likes to dance (spontaneously), listen to all genres of music, laugh loudly and be the sassiest person in a room. In her spare time, Femi likes to window shop online, go for runs and reorganize spaces. One day, Femi hopes to perfect the art of soft pretzels.
