Second-Year Syndrome is when a second or later-year student becomes disillusioned with studying and with universities in general. They have lost the momentum of high-school, the excitement of first-year, and cannot see an end to their degree coursework. Students who suffer from Second-Year Syndrome usually either drop out entirely, or stop trying to gain those elusive High Distinctions, and do as little as possible to Pass.

Utility beer is the beer you keep around for the day-to-day moments when beer is a necessity to assist in pedestrian activities (golf, plumbing, yardwork, babysitting, staff meetings, Zoom calls). For the beer snob it is the beer you save for neighbors when they drop in at 3 p.m. on a Tuesday. It is differentiated from the actual high-end beer you save for special events, holidays, and special tastings.
Person 1: Dave, did you bring along those hazy craft IPA's so we could drink while cleaning Lyle's pool?
Person 2: Nope. I just have a bunch of utility beer that Steve dumped on me. Good enough for this. It is only 10:30 a.m.
