how to pass a hard exam: in five easy steps

1. First you need to put it off. Think about it every now and then, shudder with loathing, and put it in the back of your mind.

2. At the last minute possible, ask for help. If you have a cute boy who is really smart who can help you, this is a bonus.

3. Take a lot of practice tests and feel like an idiot. It's good if you sweat a little, and tear up when no one is looking.

4. Make an appointment with the testing center. Try to sound confident while doing this, to let the man on the other end of the line know that you don't intend to fail.

5. Talk to yourself the whole way there. Also, sing loudly to "Payphone" by Maroon 5. Then, yell in the car, "I CAN DO THIS!" And when you get out, don't make eye contact with the girl walking by. On the way to the testing center, walk with a bounce in your step and chant, "I'm the best, I'm the best, I'm gonna pass the test!" quietly to yourself.

And there you have it!

p.s. I applied for graduation! WHAT?!
