dude its normal to get stressed over finals, nothing is wrong with you :)

as for throwing up ... different people get stressed out different ways. but gettin stressed for finals is normal. when %50 of your grade depends on one test, its stressful to make sure you are prepared enough. like i said before, good luck everyone with finals.
 

As far as the rest of you negative nelly's I create a thread about how tests/final make me nervous and Mookwow and that other guy give me a goshdarned oration on why grades are'nt important blah blah blah
. Everbody else seemed to get the joke but you guys.. so I don't know what to say


It's Ned Flanders !!

Thats cool that you caught that, I have a propensity for quoting Ned , but I also used to live on "his" street and I just started doing.

I realized that saying "his street " left alot hanging.By " his street" I mean NE Flanders street in the Northeast part of Portland, Or which is origin of his name. I used to get a kick out of telling people I live on Ned Flanders street.

Having said that, no one gets sick on test day. See, I wrote this post knowing I was the only one. I am truly a sad sad person.

Every morning before I had to give a speech for my public speaking class, I had stomach troubles. They didn't involve throwing up, but they still weren't very pretty. :eek: The funny thing was I didn't even feel that nervous, but I guess I was.

By the way, after you graduate you will realize that your GPA was not nearly as important as you thought it was. Unless you are going to grad/law/med school.

Some might say they're important.

They are important, I agree, but you can't get stressed about them. It doesn't help.

did you even realize he was pointing out your miss use of the word their?...

You puke over finals and other tests (over 15 times a semester, no less), derive your self worth from how well you do in classes, use the word "tummy"... if you can only NOT be able to remember how to dress correctly in the mornings, you have a bright future in academia.

Honestly, if you are wound up that tight, you are going to have even more problems later in life. And likely have problems with your teeth, if you are puking that much for a couple years.

Still living with mommy, huh ?

Actually I am married, so I get to live through the embarrasment of having my wife see me puke all over the lawn upwards of 15 time per semester.

And yes I it is a "just" test but my grades determine my worth as a person and also govern the path my life will take.

grades do not determine the worth of a person
