Midterm Madness

Trigger warning! The following term may cause stress, induce anxiety, and erupt feelings of distress. I’m talking about midterms of course. We’ve all had to face them at some point, and no matter how many times you’ve experienced them, you never feel fully prepared.
This time around was no different for students at Southern University as they faced the dragon of midterms on the week of March 14 to March 18. Slugging through all-nighters, skipping meals to study, and spending long hours in the library were all common occurrences during this week of pandemonium.
As the week came to a close, things calmed down, but many have mixed feelings about how they did on some of their exams.
One of these students is Jarden James, a graduating senior majoring in accounting from Lake Charles, Louisiana. “I feel like I could’ve done better, but I gave it my all and that’s all that matters,” he said. “I’m just trying to pass and graduate.”
Myical Burrell, a freshman majoring in elementary education from Bogalusa, Louisiana shares similar sentiments. “Midterms went okay for me. I was mostly stressed about how I did, but I feel like I did okay. I’ll do better next time.”
Whether you aced your midterms or didn’t do as well, remember it’s never too late to recover by studying, showing up to class, and speaking with your professors. Until next time we meet, there may more trigger warnings in store-FINALS. Dun, dun, dunnnnnn.
