The collective period — usually finals week, crunch time at work, or pre-competition prep — when everyone around you is in full grind mode and coasting is not an option. Sprint szn is a shared cultural moment where the expectation is maximum output and minimum sleep. It's announced on social media like a weather warning: heads up, the slow season is over, it's time to run. People romanticize and dread sprint szn in equal measure, posting both 'let's get it' energy and exhausted 4am study desk selfies.
May is always sprint szn — finals, project deadlines, and literally zero time to breathe.
