5. Everybody disappears

But somehow reappear on Twitter. Exam time increases the TL population. Don’t debate us. Maybe everyone uses it as their break or something, but whereas the personal convos and hanging out all but ceases, everyone takes to Twitter to tweet their woes and/or destress with gimmicks.

4. The exam look

The exam look – not the most on fleek look there is. At some point the care for personal appearance falls just that little bit. But nobody cares, because we all look that way.

3. Everybody becomes friends for a few weeks

You’re all out here struggling in the streets. You all know that grind and somehow we all end up talking to people we possibly didn’t even know were in our year group before.  You need to share knowledge of teacher, past papers and the general struggle to pass.

2. Library invasion

At almost every hour of the day, you can count on the library being, if not full to the brim, then at least moderately populated. 

1. The exam eyes

Whether it’s redness, droopiness or whatever, there’s just that consistent look of fatigue and terror, and maybe just a hint of wishing you had chosen to live off the soil instead of going to school.
