How To Fight The Tedium After Final Term Examinations?

Exams, for all intents and purposes, are the necessary evil of a student life. They create tension, anxiety, and apprehensive jitters, but they are also the only things that create thrills in the otherwise tedious school-life. Though every year a student experiences lots of tests, the episode of final examination is a completely another affair. And it is not just the ‘before’, and ‘during exam’ period about final terms that makes them so different; the ‘after’ period too contributes in making the experience an unforgettable one.

First students go through heavenly bliss, they make all sort of outing plans, and may even venture to take a few hobby classes, but ultimately the tedium gets to them, and despite all the hardships, they begin to miss that time of examination. If you too are going through the similar phase, then these ideas are all you need at this moment.

Sleep

If you are anything like a typical college student, then I’d wager that you are in a dire need of great slumber. Remember all the sleepless nights you’ve just spent. Yes, that’s right, you really need to meet that quota of your sleep, that too quickly, those dark shadows under your eyes do not really suit you.

Make a summer checklist

As soon as the realization hits home that your exams, at last, are over, there is bound to be a jumble up of thoughts, each contradicting the other. While you know that this is the time period you have waited so long for, the ideas that made this period so long cherished seems to have faded away. The best thing to do at this point of time is to make a checklist. Begin by jotting down your ideas on a paper, that way they will be more comprehensive, and then sort them according to your priorities. Put the things you need to do this summer on top, followed by the tasks that you desire to accomplish, and then out those tasks in the end, that you considered of doing just out of peer-pressure.

Get some work experience by doing some summer jobs

This one needs no telling. Summer jobs are meant to add experience in your CV. They are the best time killers that are both amusing and prolific at the same time. And the best thing about summer jobs is that, one can do them even when they are on a vacation. So kill the tediousness, gratify your pocket, get a chance to add that valuable experience on your curriculum vitae, all with just one stroke.

Develop a new, and productive, habit

Though this is the time when many students usually get ahead in their academics, it is also the time many students simply fritter away. You already must know, that it is the second class of students you must not get yourself into. Try to develop a constructive habit. And when it comes down to the selection of a productive habit, nothing beats reading. Develop a taste for reading and do so indulgently. But if reading is not your thing then it would be wiser to join a hobby club, rather binge watching your GOT.

Though at this moment you may have an abundance of free time, the case will not remain so once your term starts. So complete all your due tasks now when you can, wasting of time is never considered prudent.
