Notts in GIFS: Deadlines

It’s the end of November and deadlines are looming…

Panic has started, doom is impending, and everyone’s starting to get a little bit antsy…

Particularly when someone says they finished their essay last week

Multiple deadlines are closing in all at once, and self control is futile.

Stress eating becomes the only feasible coping mechanism

You celebrated Thanksgiving to procrastinate, but you have no idea what the holiday celebrates

Unwanted people start coming up to you in Hallward

You start to compete with your housemates about who has it worse, and revision rage gets the better of you

Someone suggests a night out, and it seems like a good idea… what even are deadlines? CAN’T HOLD YOU DOWN

You wake up in the morning and realise what you’ve done…

Sympathy is vital, but your housemates have become work zombies too

So all they can come with is the infuriatingly useless phrase: ‘You’ll be fiiiiine!’

But then, suddenly, AN EPIPHANY! The elusive ‘essay flow’ has come in in the nick of of time

You lift your bibliography off wikipedia. It’s like a CV, no one checks that shit

Smug and superior, you casually tell a friend that you’ve finished

Suddenly, there’s too much time in the day… after all that productivity, delirium hits 

So you do what any self-respecting student would do and revert back to festering.
