Coping with life during exams

Happy Monday all. I hope your exams are going well (as well as they can be at least) and that you’re feeling average. This week I thought I’d talk about coping with life during exams, especially because it’s not always that easy.

This week’s column is for those who struggle emotionally normally, those who’ve been revising for years, and those who are feeling the pressure of exam season during these A Level exams. And that’s because coping with life during exams is the hardest for us lot.

From one just-coping to another, I’d just like to say that to get this far, you’ve done exceptionally well. We’re mid-way through them this week, and we’re still alive. And sometimes that’s what you’ve got to remember. Your body is still functioning, and so is your mind (just about) and you’re currently in the process of reaping the rewards of the seeds you’ve been sewing for the past seven years of your life.

It might not feel like it right now, but it’ll all work out just fine in the end. So, let’s take a few deep breaths and keep our cool for the remainder of this atrocity three-week period.

We can do it. After all, we’ve done it for this long.

  • Food Food Review: Las Iguanas, Newcastle
    4/5 If you love a good theme, Las Iguanas is a restaurant you might like to try. The Latin American-style chain has restaurants all over the country, but I recently popped into the one on Grey Street just down from the Theatre Royal. As always, the restaurant itself is pristine and the atmosphere is super […]

  • Books Book Review: 1984 by George Orwell
    1/5 1984 is always cited as one of the best books ever written. It’s supposed to be intelligent, sharp and profound. Instead, I found it to be dull, rambling and unremarkable. Oh, and rampantly sexist. George Orwell was clever – I’ve read his essays and I like them. But 1984? It was hard to believe […]
