My boyfriend is super superstitious throughout the NFL season. He has pants, jerseys, socks, and a hat that HAVE to be worn. He used to have underwear. I’ve caught a little of his bug and now wear almost the same things every game day as well. I don’t know what it is, but it works. So I am definitely not knocking your routine!

Good luck on all of your stuff this week!

Many many moons ago, I attended Arizona State. I HAD to have a maple cake donut before any big test. Every time. The little donut shop I rode my bike past on the way to school closed at 4 or 5 in the afternoon. That’s why I never took any night classes.

I have lucky job interview underwear. So yeah, I can relate.

If it were me I would totally overindulge on the “copecakes” and then the good luck underwear would be tight and uncomfortable and I’d have to constantly be reaching around to unleash the wedgie.

I hate wedgies.

I NEVER get them.

I did NOT give up “copecakes”.

Being a Type B personality, I so cannot relate to the exam superstitions. But then, I’m not going to be changing the world with my career of choice, so it’s just as well. Go get ‘em, Tiger!

I’m so glad to hear I am not the only one who does weird stuff when it comes to exams…although I think you have me beat with the underwear! HA HA!

I admire your persistence in going to school despite your head pain. I looked up Reef shoes. Wow, we are on different planets. I am wearing boots with socks. Still, I enjoy all your blog posts and hope you find relief soon. Best,

Mine is that I had to have a handful of almonds in the morning on exam days. Because I heard somewhere that the type of oil in almonds can help give your memory a boost. I figured it might help me remember all the stuff I’d been cramming into my head in preparation for the exam. (Plus, you know, it’s a good protein. You don’t want to get hungry in the middle of a test.)

Hmmm, have you tracked what you ate for breakfast on the days you test well?
