You know you're revising when...

1. 'Going out' consitutes a quick walk round the block or to the shop.

2. You forget the last time you wore make up

3. The majority of your wardrobe remains untouched and you live in pyjamas/anything comfy

5. No matter how hard you try to write neatly, your hands are always covered in ink.

6. A new Pukka Pad or set of highlighters becomes an amazing gift.

7. Your mum brings you a care package of a cup of tea and a pack of new biros.

8. The room where you revise becomes a sort of revision cave: dark, littered with various stationery products  and important pieces of paper.

9. The words 'mindmap', 'stress', 'exam', 'essay plan', 'past paper', 'revision timetable' and 'HOWONEARTHDOTHEYEXPECTMETODOTHIS!' become the foundations of your vocabulary.

10. Similarly, the words 'fun', 'me-time', 'TV' and 'social life' become obsolete.

11. Everything that isn't revision is seen as a waste of time (Including writing blogs when you should be revising for English Lit)

12. Due to having few alternative sources of fun, you consume at least eight cups of tea a day.

13. You don't know how you managed to do this the last time round, and the time before, and the time before that...

14. You know the precise amount of your life which will be spent under exam conditions , and the amount of time until the next exam in  days, hours and minutes. (6 and a half hours and 3 days, ten hours and fifty-eight minutes, if you wondered)

15. SUMMER and UNIVERSITY PLACE become stamped on your brain as motivation.

Keep going everyone!
