Becoming a Hermit During Exam Time

While I enjoy reading, writing and learning, I absolutely abhor exam season. It is just such an unnatural period in one’s life; constant streams of cortisol running through my student veins, sleep deprivation, rapidly declining eyesight, shoulder/back pain from sitting at my laptop like I am the hunchback of Notre Dame, lack of social contact which renders one a hermit of sorts—the list goes on.

 

The worst part is that I always reassure myself that ‘This is the last time I will be so unprepared. Next time, I will not be stressed because I will be ready.’ Well, I have let myself down for the 100th Semester in a row.

 

I can’t wait to repossess my normal brain activities, like thinking idly, instead of frantically summarising and making checklists of every bit of information that comes before me.
