You know you are a CPA candidate when … you buy $100.00 head phones to better your listening experience with AUD gleim CD’s
also,
You know you are a CPA candidate when…you start your joke at the office with “I heard this one off another71.com…”

Lmao @ CPYay and Audarah!
Those are great! It's nice to have some humor with this grueling process and to know that you are not the only candidate going through some crap!
March 22, 2017 at 11:24 pm #1520695gigabyte2001ParticipantWhen you retype questions from your study materials, take them to work, discuss why the materials are wrong with your boss (a CPA), your company tax accountant (also a CPA), your company GAAP Auditor (also a CPA.)
When the small people in you life are told you finally passed the last exam and they respond, “Good then she can spend time with me again.”
When you've written the letters B, A, R, F on your white board vertically with test dates & scores next to each letter.
When the write on/wipe off calendar on your wall has 4 Capital “T”‘s on it in case someone didn't note the dates on the white board.
When you don't care what important things are going on in the office the last few days before an exam because you WILL be at home studying.
When YOU are sick and tired of hearing, “I can't I have to study” come out of your mouth for the 10,000th time.
When holidays = more study time to catch up because your behind in your study plan AGAIN.
When you take your study materials with you because you've got a spare hour between hair & nail appointments and you know there is a quiet corner to study in at your hair salon AND you KNOW your hairdresser won't think you're crazy.
When your hairdresser sends you a text that says, “OMG I just saw your mom! So happy for you!!! CONGRATS!!”
When driving 4 hrs to buy wine with your oldest and dearest friend seems like an absolutely fantastic idea since you took hopefully your last exam 4 days ago and scores don't come for 10 more days.
When the answer to “what were you doing up at 1am on a week night?” is “Hitting F5 on my keyboard repeatedly, DUH” and that seems like a perfectly reasonable answer to you because you're sleep deprived and running on adrenaline because OMG YOU ACTUALLY PASSED AND IT'S FINALLY F(*%$&*(ING OVER!!!

Can't count how many times I had dreams about the chapter I was studying or days before score release and dreaming of getting my grade.

You know you are a CPA Candidate when coffee, soda, candy, and unhealthy food are the only things that make you feel good.
You know you are a CPA Candidate when you frankly do not care about gaining weight. Passing the exams are all that matter in the short run!
March 23, 2017 at 8:00 pm #1521478CPA_ChikParticipantYou know you are a CPA candidate when you are making snow T-accounts instead of snow angels.
You know you are a CPA candidate when you are making accounting jokes and no one but you is laughing.
You know you are a CPA candidate when a calculator is your best friend.
I got my life back and it's beautiful!!!

March 23, 2017 at 9:56 pm #1521546AnonymousInactiveWhen you were going to wear a skirt to work on Tuesday since the weather is getting warm, and you realized you can't because you haven't shaved your legs in 6 months!
March 23, 2017 at 11:45 pm #1521606MattParticipantMarch 24, 2017 at 3:30 pm #1522192rb2017ParticipantWhen you're babysitting your cousin that has ADHD and wonder what could be the worst thing that could happen if she skipped her adderal dose for a couple days. (JUST wondered) lol
When the pictures they take of you at Prometric progressively go from “eager” to “sad & homeless.”

"FACT": The odds of consecutively passing all four sections of the CPA exam on the first try: 7%.Me: Hold my beer...
