Pre-Component Stress Disorder

Pre-Component Stress Disorder (or PCSD) is a term referring to the anxious feeling a student gets when a project is due soon or the next day. PCSD is often felt by group members when they find out that a fellow member didn't do their job at the last minute. It can also be experienced during individual projects, when a student procrastinates and suddenly finds that the project is due the next day.

Origin
The joke came into existence on Saturday, September 17th, 2017 in IPolcathica's GroupMeme chat. It came up during a discussion about the Olympic Statistical Ranking component of the sophomore Global Competition project. The GroupMeme members were confused on what was supposed to be done by the following Monday, as many others were, when Alegria gave the stress felt before a project is due the name of Pre-Component Stress Disorder.
