Midterm tests got you down? Need some way to relax so maybe you don’t do anything stupid? Well think again.

That stress you are feeling is totally ridiculous. How can you be stressed out with only midterms? It’s not like it’s finals week or something.

Midterms were designed to make us look bad. Professors only give them to stress us out. They really truly love to see us sweat.

So when you are taking those midterms, here is a simple list to follow on ways to relax before, during and after those silly little things that make us all so goofy this time of year.

First, if you are on your way to take that early morning test and you know you aren’t ready for it there is an easy way to get excused.

All you have to do is go into your test with your pajamas and slippers on, carrying an oil lantern. Walk up to your teachers and tell them you are looking for the meaning of life. Guaranteed to get you kicked out of class.

If that doesn’t work — you are forced to take the test and there is absolutely no way out — here’s what you do after you take your seat.

While picking your nose, ask your neighbor if you can borrow a pencil. After they reluctantly help you out, begin answering all your questions. However, instead of just filling in the circles begin shouting all the answers out loud so everyone can hear you.

If this doesn’t get you kicked out of class, then go to plan B: senselessly begin shouting obscenities to everyone in the class. But be careful. This could warrant some charges brought against you; you must proceed with caution.

If none of these options work, then you are just out of luck. So if you have to fail the tests, at least you can fail in style.

Good luck!
