Don't worry, we understand that it's the most important part of your degree and you want to express your pain and frustration and then your subsequent relief. But as outsiders, it's pretty dull when it's all we see on Facebook. What happened to videos of cats and Buzzfeed quiz results? Below are some of the worst things about this time of year.
(Disclaimer: we are probably all guilty of these faux pas at some point in our life, so don't worry)
1. Everyone inviting you to complete their surveys
Ok, this one isn't too bad, but it can get tiresome if you've received 20 notifications from all the Facebook groups you are part of asking to complete one person's survey. Just tone down the aggressive publicising if you can?
2. People who quote their work
No, we're not studying Micro-Biology so we don't understand what you mean. Only the few people on your course will understand, and even fewer will care. And don't even think about taking a screenshot of your screen so we can see your hilarious typo.
3. Procrastination updates
Example: "LOL. Just learnt how to Twerk. Now back to my dissertation #fml"We're sure everyone is feeling the same way, and unless your procrastination is worthwhile, like working at a homeless shelter, or something funny, please do not broadcast it. Funnily enough, your internet friends would probably prefer to know when you 'check-in' to the gym.
4. Word count updates
Example: "Yay, I wrote 500 words in 3 hours #onaroll #dissertation"Did we mention that no one cares? When your mum likes a status like this, it's a sign that you should close Facebook and do some work. If you can't keep away from expressing your progress, why not write it down in your diary so you are reminded of how organised you are?
