Christmas is the most wonderful time of the year for anyone who isn't sitting in a freezing cold room with hand cramps and an invigilator from West Meath.
Anyone who has ever sat a Christmas exam will know that endless cramming sessions, the "I'll study tomorrow" reminders, the buckets of caffeine and the hourly freakouts are. Here are 11 tweets that recognise the struggles of studying for exams at Christmas:
