Exams are upon us! But fear not, it will be over before you know it.
I honestly feel a lot calmer for my university exams than I did this time last year, sitting my Year 12 exams. I just take each day as it comes, setting goals and rewarding myself afterwards. My best friend through the examination period is my checklist; I write one every day with tasks I wish to accomplish, such as writing paragraphs 1 and 2 of my cultural studies essay, or studying this section of my linguistics course. Organising it into smaller chucks makes the tasks feel easier not only to start, but accomplish. And I personally find cookies to be a great reward! 🙂
I am yet to meet someone who actually finds exams fun, so just hang in there and know that we are all in the same boat. I say bring on the holidays!
