Diary of a Gen Z Student: Spare a thought for us poor students during college exam season

"You’d be surprised how hard it is to come by sympathy for college students. But we deserve a bit of pity. We’re an exceedingly tired cohort of the population."

College exam season is upon us! They never mention exam season, when they say that college is the best years of your life.

That detail is conveniently left out of the college prospectus. And for good reason. The last few weeks of the semester definitely feel more like I’m being hit with a stick, less like I’m chasing a carrot.
