As the academic year comes to an end...

Reflecting on this last semester...


As the academic year comes to an end, most of us are filled with fear of the unknown, anxiety, stress, anxiousness and maybe joy that the year is finally coming to end because we can all agree that a break from academics  is much needed.

Some may be stressed about examination preparations and some look forward to working harder to scoop those distinctions that they have longed for since the beginning the semester.

A few tips:

Try by all means to start studying now for you examinations, preparing early makes it way much easier for you when the exam season begins.

Preparing well in advance allows you even much more time to consult with your tutors and lectures for clarity on anything.

Consultations with lecturers are sometimes beneficial because the lecturer gives you light in he right direction of what to focus on and how to approach questions in the exam.

Avoid by all means, cramming your work as the lecturers want to test your understanding and not how good you can recite words.

Lastly, remember not to overwork yourself, always take short breaks in between studying and set goals for yourself as this gives you the motivation you need to to work even more hard towards achieving your goals.



Wishing you all the best in you examinations and may you achieve all of your set goals.

Preparing ahead and sticking to the plan...

 Just simply doing what we planned to do saves us alot of panick and stress... Be it personal commitments, work commitments or academic commitments, if you know that you need to do something always try be all means to avoid procrastination. As they say, 'procrastination is the thief of time' and you will always regret not doing what you had to do on time, while you still have time. By waiting and leaving what you have to do for last minutes will only add more stress and frustration that it would have if you had attempted to do it while you still have time to even pace yourself. Here is what I've learned from procrastinating and some of the changes that I had to make from the consequences: 1.
