You know you're a CPA candidate when your excuse for just about anything is “Sorry, I have to study.”

-Hey man, you want to go to the football game?

Sorry I have to study.

-Dude its Friday night, lets get some drinks.

Sorry bro, I have to study.

-The weather is perfect babe, lets go to the beach today.

Sorry I have to study.

-Did you see the new episode last night?

Sorry I was studying.

-The zombie apocolypse has started, the world as we know it has ended, lets get out of here!!!

Sorry I have to study.

-Are you going to your mother's funeral?

Sorry I have to study.

You know you're a CPA candidate when on the score release day (tomorrow!!!!) your work efficiency is zero, and your computer screen is set to either “Score release forum of Another71.com” or “Nasba Score release page”..

… when you begin imagining terrible things happening to people who say things like, “Oh, I had to take a test to get into the coast guard that had some pretty hard math and I did fine. You'll be fine too!”

… when you carry around study material wherever you go just because it feels weird to not have it within arm's length at all times.

… when you can no longer enjoy yourself in social settings because you know you could be studying. Le sigh.

You know..blah blah…when you realize the entire weekend has been lost to studying and (sorry for this guys, but) you've barely eaten, slept, left room, changed out of pjs or (ahem) showered, and Monday is looming for another busy season day. Ugh.

Using Wiley and Becker.

If I wasn't sitting at my computer at work I would be laughing histerically right now…I will read this every time I need a laugh, you guys are awesome! Can't believe I just got into this site…there are people who feel just like me! lol

when…instead of counting sheep to sleep you review mnemonics (best way I've ever found to fall asleep!)

…you increase your upper body strength from lugging around a computer, books, notebooks etc. everyday, everywhere you go, just in case

…you open your laptop and open Becker…then remember you don't have to study today

…the rest of your year is planned around all your studying and exam dates

Your friends say you got fat.

[Mrs 300]

– I am eating our family out of the house and I've LOST weight. I lose major weight when I'm stressed – always have.

– I have grey hair (I'm 31 – isn't that young for grey hair??). I swear two new ones sprouted this week.

– When you view work as a “break”

– When you have no idea what anyone is talking about as it relates to TV or movies

– When you are secretly pissed that it's beautiful outside because your a$$ is at the library studying instead of doing something nice outside

@masa_inn – LOL, I know, I feel like a bad person not studying. After I took AUD I jumped right into FAR. This time due to the fact that FAR made me want to jump out my 2nd story window, I am not beginning BEC until I get my grade next week. So 2 weeks off! But the first few days I would open my laptop and instinctively open Becker…then go, wait a second, why am I doing this? I just wanted to check Facebook…

-when you start having dreams (nightmares) about exam and posts on another71 (yes, happened last night)

-when people call asking wha't new, and the response is “studying” for the last five months

-when you make dinner plans in terms of months, “busy now, but let's shoot for July”

-when you get tipsy after one drink after giving up social life and all forms of alcohol for months

ahh forgot about this one, when some of becker answers to mcqs make you laugh (out loud).. ie. computer programmer is a human, really, no s***…lol; sad…

I had one happen to me this morning.

My roommate is headed to the zoo and she asked what I was doing today and I said studying. She looked at me and said I am ready for a different answer from you even if it is a lie.

Hahaha sad day
