Another word for exam
Exam week
The most stressful week known to students. Especially when there are multiple exams in a single week and/or at least two exams in a single day, this can be stressful as students try to focus on one big topic and end up messing up on other exams due to the amount of stress and other topics being erased from their brain due to one exam.
Phone conversation between two siblings
Middle school sister: Guess what, I get to go to the Bahamas with friends and you're not invited! Ha-ha!
College brother: Could you please STFU!? I have an exam week and it's very stressful and all you are doing is to make it even more stressful. I rather be in Bahamas than to deal with this crap!!

Drinking age
mostly 18, sometimes 16. But in the United States, it's 21. Main reason why American college students leave the country for spring break. Also proven to be a trap for international students coming to study.
Scenario 1 (local American student)
Bar tender: Can I see an ID?
Student: (hands over fake ID)
Bar tender: Looking at your ID it does not appear to be real, I am sorry but you have to leave.
Student: WTF!?! I am seriously sick and tired of waiting until 21. I am going to Canada for spring break where the drinking age is 18!! Maybe party in Montreal! Plus they are generous to accept my American drivers license there.
Scenario 2 (International student studying in the US)
Bar tender: Can I see your ID?
Student: (hands over a European passport)
Bar tender: I'm sorry but you gotta be 21 to drink
Student: WTF!? I thought you have to be 18
Bar tender: Nope, it's 21, and it will always be
Student: Then I was tricked, in my country I can drink at age 18. The US has the stupidest drinking age ever and they seem to hate college students like us...

Local bar: I am sorry you have to be 21 to enter
Student: WTF!? What happened to the 18 to party 21 to drink policy??
Local bar: Well that's just a rumor, you have to be 21 to enter AND drink.
Student: So apparently you're not letting me in because you think I'm going to drink, right? I'm just here to party, not drink!

Beachline Expressway
A straightaway in Florida (also known as Route 528; formerly known as Bee Line Expressway) between Orlando and Cocoa Beach. Speed limit is 70 but most cars go 100+ and get away with it.
*Cop 1: We seriously need to do something about those speeding cars going at least 30MPH over the limit on Beachline Expressway. All I did was to pull over cars 24/7 and write speeding tickets, and I am not even getting sleep! Plus, I didn't get to spend time with my mom on Mother's day.
*Cop 2: Yeah we should discuss this meeting. Let's see whether there are a lot of accidents from speeders and decide whether to raise speed limit to 90 or hire more traffic cops.

Orlando
Tourist: I thought Disney World is in Orlando, but I can't find it in the map of Orlando! Wtf!?
Local: Disney World is actually outside Orlando, it's like a half an hour drive southwest on Interstate 4 and it's a lot closer to Kissimmee and Lake Buena Vista.
