finals season

The approximately two week period before the week of finals at high school or especially university, where professors will overload students with make-up assignments, study guides, and an extremely high amount of notes, on top of the high amount of studying. This period is defined by the sheer number of assignments due or to be made up, combined with the increased level of studying done to prepare for final assignments. Also typical of this period in time is increased stress, lack of motivation, and odd decisions made about sleep, food, and activities.
