Dealing with Stress
Looking online we can see there are loads and loads of resources designed to help students come with stress. One of my personal favourite resources is a list complied by BBC Radio One (found here: http://goo.gl/wIDPQU). Ill summarise what it says but I highly recommend taking a look, its really useful and certainly helped me out a lot! When preparing for your exams – or doing any work towards them at all one of the most important things to avoid is comparing yourself and how you’re doing to your friends. We’ve all got that one mate who’s learnt every book back to back – just do what you’re most comfortable with and revise your own way.
Another handy tip is to treat your body like a temple, as it deserves. Whilst you still have the hype from the new years resolution (new year new you) try and eat healthy; you’ll find you feel more alert and it will be easier to concentrate. Also try to get some sleep – cramming’s only going to make you feel worse the next morning when you realise you had 2 hours sleep. At the end of the day, just remember that exams aren’t the end of your life – we have another 2/3 years of uni left to go!
