10 Things To Do Once Exams Are Over
Exams have been a flurry of timetables, checklists, flash cards and heartache. Here's one more checklist for that glorious day when you finish your final exams. Because you deserve it!
1. Keep it simple
It's true - your exams are really over! That means try to avoid over-analysing what you did or didn't do if you can help it. You really won't know how you did until you get your grades on exam results day. Now it's time to reward yourself for all your hard work, so...
2. Show the world what your victory dance looks like
You did it! You really did it! After your final exam it's time to let it ALL hang out. Jump up and down, hug everyone in sight then break out your wildest dance moves and show the world what you’ve got (backing music optional).
3. Have a formal end-of-exams closing ceremony
Tearful Oscar-worthy speeches to your long-suffering pet, burning your geography notes, lap of honor round the living room… have a closing ceremony that puts the Olympics to shame!
4. Take a nostalgia tour
Remember the library, otherwise affectionately known as the prison? Remember all the so-called good times you had there, revising? Now, you can go back to the library and instead of feeling the prickling sweat of fear, inhale the sweet scent of freedom!
5. ZZZZzzzzzzz...
Hooray, sleep! You can now sleep when you want, for how long you want. Sleep is now your friend, not your enemy.
6. Play TV/films/books catch-up
There must be a million TV shows or films you haven’t caught up with yet, because of revision. Now you can binge-watch them all. Even those marathon 24-episode US TV seasons. It doesn’t matter! Those hot shows are like Pokémon… gotta watch em all!
7. Get your style game on
Maybe you wore the same clothes for days in a row when you were revising. Maybe your hair forgot what a brush felt like. Now it’s time to take control of the situation. New look? Whatever it takes to make you feel great, you do just that!
8. Reclaim your personal space
It’s time to give your bedroom a bit of a shake-up and makeover. See how many notes you can shred all at once. Erase the painful memory of all that studying with some redecorating to make your bedroom feel like a place you’d actually want to hang out in again.
