How I manage my downtime and stay fresh during exams

Sometimes it feels like there’s a deadline looming around every corner, especially at this time of year. Almost all of my semester one deadlines are in the week leading up to Christmas.

They’re on my mind so much that it feels like the clock counting down the ‘sleeps until Christmas’ in the city centre is actually just counting down to my deadlines. With so much hard work to come, it’s comforting to know the Christmas break will eventually arrive and offer time to chill out, relax and prepare for any January exams.
