Exam weeks are some of the most dreaded periods of time for a college student. I also need to disclose that I have some serious ADHD that I refuse to take my medication for (and yes, I am actually diagnosed). So, believe you me, this week has been one hell of a challenge. So, this is what an exam week usually surmounts to for people like me.

1. We clean

Every thing needs to be cleaned and organized first before we can begin studying. I mean cleanliness is next to godliness. . . or something like that, right? Photo by Arnel Hasanovic on Unsplash.

2. We start nitpicking at our appearances

My goodness, look at these eyebrows. Woof. Yeah, when was the last time I tweezed these caterpillars? You know, because if you don’t look good then you won’t feel good. And if you don’t feel good, then how can you possibly ace that exam you should be studying for? Duh, it’s a no-brainer. Photo by Braydon Anderson on Unsplash

3. We eat, like every hour

Got to keep this big brain nourished for all this studying. Even though we know it’s just an excuse to take a break from trying to study. Photo by Dane Deaner on Unsplash

4. We work out

After eating everything in the house, you kind of start feeling like maybe, just maybe, all those calories aren’t going to go just to my brain. Yeah, I think I’ll do some sit-ups now. Photo by Lena Bell on Unsplash

5. We do some grocery shopping

6. We take a nap

Grocery shopping is exhausting. Studying is so much more effective when you’re not tired. Photo by Kristopher Roller on Unsplash

7. We call people

We tell them about how much we must study, because in a weird way that feels almost like studying. I like to call it an underrepresented form of self-teaching. Photo by Hannah Wei on Unsplash

Thus, is the life of an ADHD college student. Happy finals week to us!
