Almost there!

Almost There!

It’s been an extremely busy few weeks! I’m so happy to say that I have submitted my

dissertation! After months of hard work, it was a big relief to hand it in. I’ve taken a few

days off from work to be able to relax and unwind after the dissertation, but now it’s back

to the grind! I had the last ever lecture of my undergraduate degree last week. Time has

gone so fast; I can’t believe everything is coming to an end!

Exams are three weeks away. This summer, I have two exams. They are five days apart from

one another which is quite nice as it gives me plenty of time to focus equally on them. For

revision, I usually read through all of my notes and the extra reading we have been given,

and then I’ll type up an essay plan, making my notes as condensed as I can. Once the plan is

done, it’s just a matter of sitting down and learning it all off by heart! Revision can get

tedious and monotonous but you just have to push through, hard work pays off.

My advice to you as, someone who has been through many exams, would be to work as

hard as you can, and try your very best, but most importantly, take breaks! Go for a walk, or

have a cup of tea, anything that will allow you to step away from your revision and feel

almost human for a little while! Exams place students under a lot of stress and pressure,

make sure to look after yourself as best as you can. Keep your mind and body healthy and

try your best, there’s not a lot more you can do! Good luck!
