The month of May signals one thing for all students: Exams. The time of year we all dread, but choose to pretend doesn’t exist. Crammed together like sardines in a tin, tiny tables and rock hard chairs and nerves of steel we march on. Every year the same observations are to be made; different students with different habits each more annoying than the other.
10) More Paper Prats
Every year there are those who insist on shooting their hands into the air and asking for an extra booklet; while the rest of us sit struggling to fill one. Do not doubt that if you are one of these people, you are hated.
9) Toilet Dwellers
We all know them, on the hour every hour their hands soar into the air and they march through the hall to triumphantly to relieve themselves. None of us have bladders of steel but these people are taking the piss (Pun intended)!

8) Early Leavers
We’re all guilty of finishing early I’m talking about that one guy/girl who leaves once the mandatory hour hits the clock. Your heart breaks as they leave the first exam, leaving the fourth think “If you want to sacrifice your summer, go for it man”, and by the final exam your flat out jealous of them.
7) High style folk
These are the people who arrive wearing high heels and four inches of make up on their face set for the post exam drinks in town. Sister, you’re about to sit you’re fifth theology exam this week, who are you kidding? We all know you’re dying inside.

6) Reformed Drag Queens
The opposite of the afore mentioned high stylin’ folk these are the girls who once wore thick make-up, fake eyelashes and had to replace their bronzer once a week who now arrive barefaced. Pasty and ashen they sit, stress having squeezed every last inch of glamour from their once glowing complexion.

5) Restless legs
Unable to control their legs, usually seated alongside you as if their movement is custom designed to distract you. I know you’re stressed but keep the movement to a minimum, it’s not my fault you don’t have a second question prepared.
4) Too Much Jewelery Girl

There’s always one girl who insists on wearing 15 bracelets and 4 rings into each exam. In case you haven't noticed honey this isn't Tomorrowland; but If you insist on wearing that much jewellery at least do your classmates the courtesy of removing it before you start writing that way we're distracted by your constant tap tap tapping.
3) Cheaters
These creatures are rare but to those of you out there who get away with it, we envy you all.

No rosary beads for these bad asses!
2) Coughers/Sneezers
SERIOUSLY, I know you can do nothing about having a cold or the flu but at least try and stifle your disease. It’s highly distracting and I’m stressed out enough without having to worry about contracting your infection.
1) Easy Breezers
Those lads and ladies that stroll into an exam like it’s your average lecture. Can be seen in the hallways with a single pen in hand stating “Be grand man, me nan has a candle lit”. For those of you to whom this category applies, this entire article has been a waste of your time!
