Everything you’ll notice around Cov Uni during exam season

Prepare for an empty Kasbah dancefloor


It's that time of year again. The time where students all across Cov are united by the one thing we truly hate, even more than Warwick students stealing our fags in Kazzy B smokers: Exams.

Queuing for JJ's on a Tuesday night gets replaced by tense queues outside the sports hall as you're shitting yourself holding the revision notes you've been highlighting since 7am. Downing drinks in Empire on a Wednesday is replaced with downing coffee and redbulls in the library as you trick yourself into thinking they'll make you productive. They won't.

These are all the things you will notice as you go through exam season in Coventry. See you on the other side.

The clubs are dead

On my own in R&B but still havin fun x

Colly Mondays and JJ's Tuesdays are a thing of the past, nobody has the time or is willing to risk it. We're all striving to get that 40% to pass (or maybe even a 2.1, if you're unlucky enough to be a third year) and clubbing has to wait until the weekends.

Trust me, it's a lot easier to suck it up and dance with the locals on Friday and Saturday nights than to convince yourself you'll leave at a normal time on a weekday and get up early to bang out revision. We all know this isn't gonna happen, don't try and convince yourself otherwise.

You will start living off Deliveroo

Suddenly Deliveroo doesn't seem that expensive anymore, suddenly Deliveroo becomes a lifeline. Everything on Deliveroo becomes an everyday meal option, you even start getting it more than once a day.

Don't feel guilty for spending nearly £10 on a chicken burger from Nando's, we all do it and nobody is judging you. Apart from the rider who's turned up to your house for the third time today. He's deffo judging you.

Deliveroo will become a major part of your lifestyle for the next three weeks – it's not an 'occasional treat' anymore. It's now become more acceptable to pay £2.50 delivery than to even consider taking the time to prepare and cook normal food. Ew.

No one gives a shit about what they look like anymore

Trackies all day everyday baby!

Everyone stops making an effort with their clothes and general appearance, it's agreed. No point putting on make-up if you're only going to cry it off at three in the afternoon right?

Plus it's more comfortable to stress about exams in trackies and a baggy jumper than to feel your circulation in your legs stop in your skinny jeans as you try your hardest to understand your own handwriting.

My body is more meal deal than human at this point

Student exam diet is comprised of meal deals, microwave meals and Deliveroo. There are no exceptions. We can't waste a single moment of precious study time so it's off to Gosford Sainsbury's for a £3 meal deal and another day in the library. And then an hour on Instagram as you "prepare" for revision.

When your parents ask if you've eaten you'll be very proud to say you've had a microwave cottage pie that you bought earlier. And yes, the plates will be left on the side until you find the time to wash up.

The library will eventually become a lost cause

Trying to find a seat in the library is hard enough throughout the year but during exam time, it's an extreme sport. You need to arrive at least half an hour earlier than you planned just to give yourself time to walk around on the floors to find yourself a seat – and that's if you find one. This is going to the library, not checking in at the airport, I don't want to have to turn up two hours early "just to be safe".

Even trying to find seats in the other buildings becomes a challenge. Don't bother asking your mates if there's any seats by them because they'll be gone before you've even left your room. At this point it's just safer to go home and cry, isn't it? Yeah, I think so too.
