Crunch time, baby

It’s definitely the final assessment period in my school when…

1. Your breakfast, lunch and dinner come from the nearest vending machine you can find from where you’re working.

2. You have panda eyes

3. Your mum asks what time do you have to get up tomorrow, you say, “don’t worry, I wont be sleeping”.

4. You see students running about trying to get their projects done

5. It’s 11pm and the school computer labs are still crowded, students don’t want to go home and the security guards have to chase them out

6. You see students carrying huge mounting boards everywhere, and big annoying plastic bags

7. It’s 7am and the printing shops are already open with a long line forming outside the shop

8. The things that you need to buy from Artfriend are out of stock, just when you really need them

9. You and your team mate turn into a pair of conjoined twins

10. You live in front of the computer for at least 3 days straight

11. You’ve only recently found out that Obama has been elected president

But you know, students tend to exaggerate what they’re going through. Like it’s a life and death situation. If there’s one thing I’ve learned this past couple of months, it’s that there are other quite important things other than school and it helps to step back and take in the bigger picture. That could help put things in a better perspective so you’d freak out less when things don’t go as planned.
