For me, there has always
been a great wave of emotional positiveness and hope for the future during a
particular time. Girl!(or Boy!), don't you feel like exam time are times to
reflect on your actions and pave a path for your future self? For the rest of
my life, my energy levels are dormant but Miss. Exam is about to knock at my
door and I'm all pheephoophiefoom.....
Here are the list of things
I love love love doing when she decides to walk by(very slowly) :
The
Sales and Shopping - I quote Michelle Phan, 'Love, Sale
and Free are my favorite four lettered words.' And that is a sentence I lead my
life by during exams. Otherwise, I am good at managing my resources and do not
fall for sale baits. So for my study holidays, I'mma use it to find out sales
nearby and schedule my study time around my shopping time. Yes, this is the
time when my wardrobe of a million items are too less for my beautiful life.
The
Fitness Freak - I suddenly want to lose weight. By
the end of this exam month, I shall weigh 10 kilos lesser #LifeGoals. True
story,I skipped 800 counts, sprained my leg, suffered for a week and lost my
study hours. I shall voluntarily risk my life bravely even when I know I have
to focus on academics.
The Marvelous Movies - This is the time you know your TV
channels are voodoo magicians working against your destined successful life.
Damn! How does it know the list of movies I've wanted to watch? The First time
on TVs during my exams are the ones that I've always wanted to watch. Alright,
what do I do when there are advertisement breaks? I watch other channels
because they too have custom tailored movie schedules designed just for me.
There's no way to escape :-(
The Valuable yet Valueless Visits - During exam times my doors are not only open to Miss. Exam
herself but also to my relatives and friends. God help me, they know exactly
when to drop by. Its valuable because I hardly have guests at home and its
lovely to meet and spend quality time when they finally have the time and
opportunity to drop by. Its partly valueless because I am not fully engaged in
the activities.
The Raptorial Reader -
I am not good at phrasing my sentences but I don't quite know how to express my
hunger for reading non-academic books during exams. Let me give you a
description : I am sensitive to slight
shuffles of the books when they are disturbed, then there is a nervous series
of raised heart beats, I am sweating. And Bam! I have pounced on a book. I
finish it overnight and my excitement has only begun. Such a devil ;-)
The Focus on Future - It
is during this time that I am aware of my gifted life. Questions on what I am
doing with my life, what I am planning to do with it and how do I go about it
cross my mind. I start maintaining a diary and a digital template to keep up
with life and to answer my philosophical questions. Wow! Certainly not the best
way to spend your study hours.
The Sound Sleeper -
Although it is difficult to catch some sleep the night before exams, I sleep
like a baby during my study holidays. I go to bed with the confidence of a
student who finished third revision and wake up with the confidence to face
reality and actually for the first-time-ever start studying. Okay, I studied
the first three pages of my text book and what a day! *Falls back in bed*
Exam
times are those times when my brain is most active, most creative, most
efficient and most clearly distracted from the real purpose. Feel free to share
your exam stress relievers in the comments section. Thanks for reading!

are the reasons you're not doing well in tests. Seriously though, focus and
learn to give it your best during exams
