AHHHH!

You Know It's Exam Term When:

1. At 5.57 pm the queue for the buttery is out the door. At 6.18 pm the buttery is empty. There is an exodus en-masse from the libary as soon as it is 5.55pm every night. You had no idea the library could even fit that many people in.

2. You think the bar is shut when you go in for coffee at 1.30pm because there is no-one in there. It's open; everyone else before you got their coffee "to go" like you will.

3. Your idea of taking a night off is actually going to bed.

4. You take 20x the RDA of vitamin C every morning because you just CANNOT get a cold.

5. The libary staff pretend not to notice when you try and smuggle in coffee/oranges/pepsi cola.

6. Drinking 3-4 cans of Pepsi Max a day is acceptable.

7. At 5am the library has far too many people in it than is right.

8. Everyone has their desk staked-out with lamp, piles of books and folders, posters on the walls of revision notes and "good luck cards". O, and rows and rows of empty coffee cups.

9. People will reguarly tell each other to go to bed. (They won't).

10. When you ask people how they are doing they either:
a) tell you about how thier exams and revision is going
b) inform you how much sleep they have had recently, as this is the difinition of "how are you"
c) say they will "see you on the other side" .

11. There is much random present-giving. This makes people happy.

12. You rename the library in an attempt to make it more exciting. Calling it the "hot box" only sounds VERY WRONG. The "discotheque" is barely an improvement.

13. You keep your phone charger in the library as you spend more time there than your room.

14. You resent exams for taking up your valuable revision time.

15. You wear red and white stripy Santa socks, because you have run out of "normal" socks. The only students who do not end up wearing strange clothes because their other clothes are in the wash are mathmos. This is because:
a) they wear strange clothes anyway
b) they've been wearing that t-shirt "often" all year.

16. You do odd things every now and again, just to keep people on thier toes. People are too polite to ask why your hair is heaped ontop of your head in a Wurzel Gumidge-esque fasion, and full of random hairclips, they just stare.

17. All the guys have a dodgy stubble/beard thing going on. Even some of the girls do.

18. There is never anywhere to sit if you arrive to the library past 11am.

19. You haven't seen your bedder in weeks because you are always out your room before she arrives.

20. Y0u do exams.
