Examsmas

A holiday celebrated by university students in which any feelings of accomplishment or self-worth are ritualistically cleansed in preparation for a new semester.
The holiday commonly coincides with the exam schedules of various educational institutions. The link between the two is not yet understood.

block exams

block exams; a modern-day method of torture developed by a panel of adults who believe that they know best. block exams consist of several subjects' exams in a row (maths, english, history etc.) with a break between each one. block exams last for anywhere between 2 days and 2 weeks, and usually cause mass stress and panic in students. social life is impossible during this time, as all student's free time will be spent trying to learn a whole semester's worth of work (of which half probably wont be needed anyway). most block exams start at the age of 16, although some mean-spirited schools will start at the young age of 15.

Teacher- ok students, in 2 weeks' time are BLOCK EXAMS
Students- *groan*
～～～～～～～
Friend- hey :) would you like to see a movie on saturday with a big group?
Student- oh no i can't, sorry, i have block exams
Friend- ohhhhh *understanding & sympathetic nod*
～～～～～～～

Friend- but it's only june?

Final exams

Tests with no meaning, they are just extremely annoying

Biology final exams were so stupid, how do they expect us to know literally everything we went over threw out the whole year?

Exams

A set of assessed procedures to gauge academic performance following a course of study. However, Marxists would argue that this is in fact a product of 'false consciousness': exams are actually engineered to force the proletariat of students to undertake the normail 'duties' of everyday life. These usually involve hygeine; for example, washing your clothes, cleaning your room, or undertaking a meaningless life mission such as adding definitions to the Urban Dictionary.

A: Do you want to come over for a 5-course dinner and literature discussion group after I finish indexing all my bank statements?

B: Sure, what's the occasion?

A: I've got exams.
