(n.) an unspecified period of time before spring break during which a student (or faculty member) loses the ability to accurately perceive the passage of time.
Dr. Richard Block identified a framework of four interrelated factors that affect this perception: (1) characteristics of the time experiencer, (2) time-related behaviors and judgments, (3) contents of a time period, and (4) activities during a time period.
The Spring Break Effect will cause noticeable changes in everyday life. For example, students will likely experience feelings of acedia (mental sloth, apathy, indifference, boredom) or exhaustion caused by sleep deprivation. Days will run together to the point where they are distinguished only by the assignments or exams scheduled. Most of an individual's "productive" time will be spent on academic tasks that will range between mindless and tedious. (If a suffer is subjected to these conditions for extended periods of time, particularly when tasks are mindlessly tedious, it is recommended that they consult a mental health professional.) Finally, those affected will spend increased and possibly unhealthy amounts of time on social networking sites (Twitter, Facebook, and Pinterest, if the subject is female).

Person A: "How is it only Tuesday?"
Person B: "I don't know. It feels like Friday."
Person C: "Dude, you're experiencing the Spring Break Effect."
Person A: "Is that fatal?"
Person C: "No, but staying awake for 72 hours might."
Person B: "Shit."

Get the The Spring Break Effectmug. The "Taylor effect" is when you try to bag a girl but fail every single time. And although you feel like given up you try and go after another girl despite what happened in the past.
And so you try to bag this girl thinking that things will be different but ends up in a loop.

Get the The "Taylor effect"mug. When a Danish person becomes a teambuilder, they realise that Icelandic people are the best option for a partner and before long, they give up on other nationalities. What follows is a trip to Iceland often followed by a couple months of living in Iceland. Unfortunately the Icelandic partner ultimately wants to move to Aarhus, for all Icelandic people have a deep seated loathing for their own country and wish to leave

Get the Leenoz effectmug. Is when a bunch of people find themselves using some other site, than the one they should have been on. They can swear, that site name was different and even logo looks different, yet everyone in forums and comments assure them this is the original site and it has always been this way. Bending under the assurances of the others, they start to doubt themselves and even believe it was Mandela effect, yet in truth they were right to begin with and people simply made joke of them by lying that this site never had any changes, when in truth it just recently had some update.
What the hell? This site was called Manganelo before! Why is it writen Manganato.
No dude, it has always been this way.
Guys I am sure the logo was different!
Dude, what's wrong with you? This site has always been this way since its creation.
Wow, I think it's the Mandela effect!
