Freshmen react after their first midterms at Penn
‘I started college with one asshole, now I have twelve’
Be it Econ or Chem, the first college midterm is always a scary experience, especially immediately afterwards.
Eager to know how the Class of 2019 was coping, The Tab spoke with freshmen as they walked out of their first midterms.
The verdict…not great.
Naomi Elegant
“I had the very liberating experience of looking at the paper and realizing I wouldn’t get anything that would give me points and I left 20 minutes early and now I’m listening to the Drake-Future mixtape for audio therapy.”
Colin Lodewick
“Adele, Beyonce, and Taylor Swift were in the open-ended question and it made my heart palpitate.”
Andreas Pavlou
“Praying to Econ God right now.”
Andy Ye and Saad Slaoui
“So we had to analyze this code and figure out what restaurant the Pope opened–”
“I got ‘Welcome to Cheesesteak Heaven.'”
“What? No, that definitely wasn’t it. I went through the whole thing and –”
“I did too and that was the answer.”
“How could that be the answer?!”
Shiva Suri
“I’m just mad. I just think it’s stupid. One exam shouldn’t be worth that many points.”
Dayzia Terry
“The Econ exam just snatched my edges so hard. Weave GONE.”
Brailinson Disla
“Chemistry is hell. It is like…death. One problem shouldn’t be subdivided into five parts.
We only had seventy minutes! Why?
I was just like so happy first because I studied so much for the test, and then I was like ‘noooo’ when I couldn’t finish.”
