Hi folks,
Next week is Exam Prep Week at DBS. This is a challenging time for everyone, and it means we as students have a lot of work to do. However, we are one step closer to our deserved break! The key thing for this week is to know how to organise yourself. I recommend starting with a schedule for each day. Choose a subject and dedicate a few hours to studying this by reading notes and revising the important exams topics. Make sure you take some breaks along the way. Go for a walk, try some cooking, or have a nice shower to switch off.
The simple things will help you clear your mind, and ensure you are more productive and ready for these exams. Finally, try to stay positive. It is a very stressful time for us all, especially with the number of deadlines coming up and papers to sit. As member of the SU Welfare Team, I encourage you all to make sure you look after yourself and soon enough, we will have the chance to enjoy a nice drink on a warm sunny day (hopefully).
I wish you all the very best of luck.
