- You find yourself completely invested in TV shows you’ve never enjoyed before or even felt an inclination to watch. X Factor and Masterchef anyone…
- Your desk is covered with a variety of worksheets, textbooks and half completed essays. It looks more like the site of a minor explosion than a functional workspace.
- Between the pile of yet to be completed essays, the stack of lecture notes to be studied and the aforementioned TV shows, a good night’s sleep is the stuff of fantasy.
- You actually cease to function without coffee and associated caffeinated beverages.
- You’ve approximately consumed your weight in confectionary over the course of a week.
- At least once you’ve vowed to never leave an assignment until the last minute again… you’re pretty sure you’ll break this promise within the week.
- You get desperate enough to catch up on assigned readings.
- You can reference a journal article off by heart and know the Learning@Griffith website like the back of your hand.
- Your life is structured around deadlines and due dates rather than days of the week.
- After twelve batches your chocolate chip cookies are Michelan star worthy and you’ve successfully avoided writing that essay – procrastination at its finest.
- Your social life is so non-existent that it’s probable your friends don’t remember your name.
- You spend more time creating and colour-coding a study plan than actually studying.
