Everyone knows the dreaded week—the one in which every single teacher gets together and schedules their first exams and the due dates for the first projects and papers. This week can easily be recognized by the following signs:

1. Dead weekend

The weekend where everyone’s in studying and doing homework instead of partying (for the most part).

2. The library is full 24/7

And the air inside smells of pizza and stress.

3. The gym is less crowded than usual.

Grades > Gains.

4. Everyone’s dressed in what could qualify as pajamas.

They don’t count as pajamas if you’re not sleeping.

5. Every group of people you pass is basically reciting their textbooks to each other.

It’s stressful just to hear.

6. Snapchat stories are of people studying together.

And they go all the way up to 4 am.

7. People start skipping the classes that don’t have tests.

You’re 30-person ethics class drops to an awkward 12 by Tuesday.

8. People pull out laptops and textbooks at the most random times and places.

This is appropriate at my best friend’s birthday dinner, right?

9. Starbucks is even more crowded than it normally is.

It’s never too late for caffeine.

10. At the end of the week, Snapchat fills up with some of the craziest parties you’ve ever seen.

And people drinking away their regrets about their tests.
