Let's Fail, A Lot!
1) One time I failed this last semester was during my second round of midterms. I studied for two weeks but when it came time to actually take the exams it felt like my mind went blank and I did not know any of the subject. This happened to me in two exams that I took that week. Now that I look back I'm pretty sure the lack of sleep and the bad eating habits I had those few weeks were probably the reason that happened to me.
2) Failure is such a weird concept, it feels horrible yet without it people would not fully understand successful. I think emotionally I handle failure by talking to the people closest to me. They always seem to have the right things to say to make me feel better and it is probably because they know me the best. I also try to stay busy for a few days to kind of forget that I failed at something. This helps me not get all caught up in what happened and when I am ready a few days later I look back and try to figure out what went wrong. I don't think I am any more willing to take risks than I was before taking this class, but every once in a while it is still important to go out of your comfort zone and try new things.
