12 Personas Students Can Become At Exam Time

Exam time is absolutely no laughs. Everyone is stressed out and time is ticking until this hell is over. The library is sickly full and breaks are continuously taken. We must remember there are many major struggles we go through at exam time. This season is horrendous and we all wish we never had them. This is the only time in college when drink isn't on your mind and the thoughts of summer is the only thing getting you through this pressure cooker of an event. Studying is the bane of your life and you couldn't be less happy. Here are the 12 Personas Students Can Become At Exam Time.

1) Sloppiness

I have started to care less about what I wear. It is comfort over fashion and I don't care what anyone says. This is a tough time and I will wear what I want.

2) Sleep Deprivation

I have not been sleeping well. I am constantly tired and yawning but then when I try to sleep I can't. As if this time couldn't get any worse, I now have become an insomniac.

3) Anxiety

I don't know if it is the lack of sleep or the fact that I am more stressed out than a convicted felon on trial, but I am experiencing anxiety like never before. I am not myself and this constant sweating will not be landing me a man in the library.

4) Panic

What if I fail? What if I haven't learnt enough? What if I forget my student card? What if I forget my seat number? Absolutely anything can go wrong.

5) Confidence

"Ah sure it will be grand." "What's the worst that can happen?" "All I care about is where I eat my lunch." As cool as a cucumber I am.

6) Desperation

I need notes. Why didn't I take notes? I should have known better than that. Looking back, sitting in lectures roaming the streets of Facebook seems oh so stupid. I am desperate and I need help now.

7) Social Media Removal

That is it. I am done. I am going to delete every network of Social Media I have succumb to. I will no longer be tempted by Twitter, Instagram or Facebook Chat.

8) Social Media Rebuttal

Okay, that was stupid. I should not have done that. Let's activate the accounts again. That was unnecessary.

9) Break Obsessed

Time for a break. Time for another break. "You're going for a smoke? I don't smoke but I'll join." I can't get enough of all these breaks.

10) Time-Management

I am going to make a list. I can't start anything without a list. A list will make me start studying. I better start writing it.

11) Note Taker

Taking notes really helps me to study. I am going to copy this whole page into notes and then learn it. Productivity at it's finest.

12) Highlight Emergency

I better highlight all my notes. It may take time but it'll be so worth it in the end. Highlight here, there and everywhere. It is essential.
