514 Chai Chee Lane 03-16, Singapore 469029 It’s about three more weeks until most uni kids end their semester.
Some will have four projects due on the same week. Others know of friends who are now walking zombies or disappeared from the face of earth altogether. The worst part? You know you may soon be part of the walking dead.
1. The Cheongster
No more parties or socializing. No proper meals or dinner dates that last beyond 30 minutes or are further than 2km away from school.
2. The one who knows just how to make himself/herself feel better about studying.
These foodies snack a lot while studying and will probably meet you for the occasional feast to “reward” themselves for studying. Like the cheongsters however, don’t expect too long a dinner with them.
3. On the other hand, there are those who found some light in the darkness.
They realized that final exams can sometimes work better than a diet or exercise.
4. Those with a secret weapon.
Hey, what do you get when you mix English class with alcohol?
Tequila Mockingbird of course.
5. Those who are secretly hashtag fans.
#forgiveallmyhastags #onlybecausoffinals #stress #projects #lol #goingtodie
6. Those who tried being calm in front of others.
Only to fail horribly when they reach page one of their notes.
7. Those with the bragging rights.
8. The bochaps
Maybe they are closet muggers. Maybe they are graduating year fours who no longer have to care about their GPA. We are jealous.
9. The soon-to-be graduates.
They have either: (a) already secured a job or (b) have no final exams, or (c) do not have to care about their GPA, or (d) all of the above.
10. The caffeine abuser.
You do not want to go near them.
11. Those who still have a long, long way to go
12. The procrastinators
13. The desperate
Information by osmosis, they say.
14. Those who should be majoring in music
Because they have techno or party music blasting in their earpieces while studying at the library. Do not sit next to them in the library - do not blame them when their loud music disturbs you, or when they start shaking their head and legs to the music, or both.
15. Those who start thinking they don’t belong in Singapore’s rigid culture for the thousandth time.
16. Those who feel that nothing is ever enough
Even though they practically spent breakfast, lunch, dinner and supper in the library.
17. The ones who tried.
They coop themselves up to study but then check their Facebook, Twitter and Whatsapp every minute. Can’t fault them for not trying though.
18. Those who fall asleep while studying at the library.
19. Those who fall asleep, because of a lack of sleep.
20. Those who gave rise to Asian stereotypes.
Why you get C? You’re not C-sian or B-sian. You’re Asian! Asians with no A’s… SIN.
21. Those who are blissfully unaware of what’s coming up next
22. Those you wish weren’t your roommates, sibling, or neighbours
These people set multiple alarms even though they burned the midnight oil till 4am.
23. Those who regret skipping every lectures.
24. Those who obviously studied too much.
25. Those who get distracted easily.
26. The brainiac we are all jealous of.
27. The lucky few who have mastered work-life balance.
28. Those who still attend classes because of attendance.
Welcome to hell week. Let the mind games begin.
