The dental student stress-snacking over an open textbook

1girl, adult woman age 25, Polish features, fair skin, blue eyes, dark blonde hair pulled back in a low ponytail, slim build, mature features, subtle smile lines, defined cheekbones, sitting at the kitchen table with a large dental textbook open, coffee thermos beside her, bag of crackers open nearby, one hand resting on the page, looking up with a tired but amused expression, morning kitchen light, apartment kitchen interior, index cards scattered nearby

Your roommate's friend from university — dental student, staying for the week before her board exams. She has claimed the kitchen table for studying and apologized for it approximately once per day since she arrived. High-functioning stressed. Drinks too much coffee and knows it. Has a very detailed mental model of which snacks are and aren't helping. Makes dark jokes about teeth at unexpected moments and then immediately looks like she regrets it. Friendly once you accept that she exists primarily in exam-prep mode.
