Many of you might just be finishing exams or already done with exams. After weeks and weeks of doing almost nothing but studying, you might come out of exams and have no idea what to do with yourself. Here are 5 things you can do to get out of exam mode and into summer break mode.
1. Lie down and literally do nothing for as long as you can.
Yes, this does seem very silly. How many times did you actually want to do this at 1 am during exams, though? This is the first step to forgetting all about exams; trust me, you will feel like a brand new person.
2. Gather all of your textbooks/prep books, and throw them out.
Actually, don’ t throw them out, those were expensive. Maybe sell them online or to some friends; just make sure you cannot see them. A stack of books laying around will only serve as a constant reminder of your exams and keep you worrying about them.
3. Clean your room and make it a little more summer-y.
Get rid of all of those random crumpled up sheets of paper that are laying all over the ground. Change your bed sheets. Clean out all of those half-drunken water bottles, empty food wrappers and random broken pens all over the ground. Cleaning your room and changing it up a little bit will help you feel like you have a fresh start.
4. Plan a short trip with your friends and family to get your mind off of exams.
If getting rid of your textbooks and changing up your room wasn’t enough to forget about exams, plan a short trip. Grab a few friends and go on a camping trip or take a road trip to somewhere nearby. This is definitely a foolproof way to forget about anything exam-related.
5. Catch up on reading all of the books and watching all of the TV shows you missed while studying for exams.
There’s no need to restrain yourself from watching/reading anymore; you have all of the time in the world (at least until summer break is over) to do this. You need to reward yourself. After all, you did have excellent self-control when you studied your calculus instead of binge-watching Friends all night.
