The Fear Is Real: Waiting For Exam Results

Back to college time. New semester, new classes, new lectures, and looming exam results. Often, we forget that after the stress of exams there's more stress to come. The wait for your results is beyond frustrating. On the one hand you really want to know and on the other, you desperately want to not know how you got on. Here are some things that you and your fellow classmates will definitely say during the lead up to your results;

1) When are they out again?

2) I actually don't even care anymore.
