Things To Not Give A Sh*t About This Exam Season

Shit is about to go down. Exams are coming up and you need to get stuck in and forget about all the rest of the bullshit. You only need to look out for yourself. Here are things you really don't need to care about right now. As long as you remember to wash yourself and have pens and coffee, you should be fine.

Keeping up on Social Media

They will still be there when the exams are over. If you miss the latest viral video another one will surface and be all the rage when exams are done. Don't freak out because you missed a tweet or an Instagram. Plus you can always check on your exam breaks anyway.

T.V. Shows

Again they will still be there after exams. Who wouldn't want a lovely Netflix binge over the winter break? And if you're not on Twitter all the time, you won't get bombarded with spoilers. Win-win.

Your Diet

Fuck that. You don't need to watch what you eat. As long as it gives you energy, eat it. Who cares about getting your five a day, or having fresh anything. Pizza and noodles. January is for dieting, right now you just need study fuel.

Your Outfit

Life is too short to worry about matching socks. As long as you're relatively put together you're doing life right. You don't need to worry about it. Believe me.

Your Fitness

Who the fuck cares how you look right now. You don't need to go to the gym, you need to get to the library. Walk to the library. That counts as exercise, right?

People's Opinions

People suck. You don't need to get involved in some debate on religion, politics, human rights or anything that people have extreme opinions on right now. Let them be until the exams are over.

People and Their Drama

So your bestie is having a drama with the girl/guy they slept with last week, or they've become involved with the latest love of their lives. You don't need to get involved. It's not your problem.

Your Personal Drama

You don't need the pressure right now. You can deal with all your drama once exams are done. Perhaps over drinks. You have no time for dealing with your feelings.

Politics and News

Unless you or one of your loved ones is on the news, you don't need to care. Not right now. You have reading and highlighting to catch up on.

Cleaning Up

Who the fuck cares right now if your bedroom is a mess? If you can find relatively clean clothes in among the mess then you're golden. A quick shower/dry shampoo should get you through the day. And let your dishes soak in the sink, you can get to them later (hopefully your housemate will be cool with the last one).

Going Out V.S. Not Going Out

If your friend is finished their exams before you, then good for them. You don't need to go out and potentially ruin your results. You worry about you and then go crazy when you're done. You'll have deserved it. Or at least you should deserve it, if you don't spend all your time worrying about crap you don't need to.
