Everywhere I go over the last two weeks I'm hearing about finals for the year. It's crazy it's that time of year all ready. People are studying like crazy, doing exams and looking forward to the break, and actual sleep. All this talk has made me so thankful I have graduated. No more stressing about study, exams or results, or my GPA. Not to rub it in for all those still studying, but it is a great feeling.
Every now and then I still get this panicked feeling. I feel like I should be studying, reading something, or just plain doing some uni work. This feeling would get especially bad when I was playing games. But then I would have to remind myself that “it's ok, you've graduated remember!”. And I graduated over 6 months ago! But I had been studying for 4 years, straight from high school, so habits are a bit hard to break.
I did a little research to find out if I could put a number on how many people are actually studying for finals this week, but alas, I could not find an amount to quote. But I assure you, there are heaps in the same boat as you. During my research I found an article about getting through exams. I had to laugh a little at one of her “study skill tips”:
Exercise.
Now she may have a fair point, but I know when I was studying this was the last thing on my mind when I was worried about passing. Her point is that exercise allows a stress relief, but I am thinking I would just be stressing the whole time that I wasn't studying. It could just be me though.
But for all those studying, good luck! It will all be over soon … Now I am going to enjoy surfing the web and playing games … Just think that will be you in a few days, so don't hate me!
