the fear

Noun. That indescribable paralyzing feeling that accompanies the onset of essay and exam season near the end of a college or university semester. By a true stroke of brilliant dramatic irony, the fear strikes when you have the most at stake (or the most to do) and, having set in, forbids you to get anything done at all. Beautiful.

I hate to say this, but I think this place is getting to me, I think I'm getting the fear. Calm down, you'll get over it. How much money can you lend me? I have to leave the country. Just sit the fuck down man, it'll pass. This is serious man, one more hour in this school, I'll kill someone. Come on, I wanna leave fast.

The Fear

'The Fear' is the concept of quitting your current job that you don't like in order to give you the motivation to pursue your dream job. From Friends episode The One Where Rachel Quits (310)

RACHEL: I'm training to be better at a job that I hate, my life officially sucks. JOEY: Look Rach, wasn't this supposed to a temporary thing? I thought you wanted to do fashion stuff? RACHEL: Well, yeah! I'm still pursuing that. CHANDLER: How... exactly are you pursuing that? Y'know other than sending out resumes like what, two years ago? RACHEL: Well, I'm also sending out.... good thoughts. JOEY: If you ask me, as long as you got this job, you've got nothing pushing you to get another one. You need the fear. RACHEL: The fear? CHANDLER: He's right, if you quit this job, you then have motivation to go after a job you really want. RACHEL: Well then how come you're still at a job that you hate, I mean why don't you quit and get 'the fear'? CHANDLER: Because, I'm too afraid.
