I don't fucking know what x equals!

The soulless people who produce the SAT's and other standardized test, College Board, have loathed the existence of hard working students since the beginning of time. Disturbed by our natural ability to be disciplined, get good grades through hard work, and our undying dedication to our future, College Board brought it upon themselves to crush the dreams of us innocent teens. The SAT was invented to torture the students who get their homework copied off of, the ones who want to be a part of something bigger than themselves; the students with a future. College Board destroys the souls of these tremendous young adults, the ones who try, with question after question of absolutely non-understandable content. How many times are we going to be in a battle against questions like:

"If Tracy has three eggs and Stacey has two, and it took them both five minutes to get the eggs from the chicken coup, what is Tracy's last name?"
a. three seconds
b. 12
c. 32
d. God
e. 17364564789690008-03983

The hard-working teen of undeniable potential, would struggle, and say to herself:

"What the Fuck?"

While the students all around her, who copied her homework the previous day, would be zooming through this question thinking:

"Duh, it's b, soooooo easy."

What is an A+ student to do? Sadly, the universe, is not going to realize the evils of College Board in the next four months, so all of us will have to attempt the impossible, and actually study (unlike our classmates who get everything easy). We, the population of resilient determination and ambition,will come to annihilate questions about Tracy's last name and chicken coups. We need to not listen to the score of the kid who whispered "your handwriting sucks," while copying off your chemistry final, nor listen to the questionably high score of the blond who asked you for the 13th times what chapter four was about in Their Eyes Were Watching God, . We need to persevere and yell our well earned average scores loudly and proudly and hope that our essay will be the positive deciding factor to each admissions in the school of our choice. We need to not fret over the horrors of the SAT's nor the intentions of College Board, but learn, and apply what we have learned. We shall overcome.
