Holidays are around the corner and that’s what we, as students are definitely looking forward to. Have you ever got the feeling that when it’s school season, you would always be hoping that holidays will come super-fast so that you can have your sleep, so that you can hang out with friends and give yourself a break from all school stress? But when it comes to the holiday season, you would always be hoping that school would start soon? Well, I think most of us have had that feeling before.
When we’re in school/college, there’s homework, assignments given to us almost every day and we are expected to pass it up the following day.
Exams usually end when holidays are about to start so we’re probably glad about that. When holidays are about to end, some of us will go like “YES!” because they probably had nothing to do during the holidays so going to school seems to be a good way to enjoy your teenage life. I think we enjoy going to school because we have friends to talk to, not that we actually 'enjoy' school and the never-ending assignments. Usually before the holidays, teachers/lecturers would give their students a present and that present would be HOMEWORK! They sure love us, don’t they?
During the holidays, we eat, sleep, watch TV, play games on our computer/laptop/play station and this cycle goes on until the very last day of our holidays and BAM! before you know it, school starts just like that and we have done nothing about the homework we were given for the holiday period. We would all will be thinking “Why does holiday seem to pass by so fast?” and the next thing you know, it's exam season where most of us struggle to study at the very last minute.
Exams aren’t really our best friend. Speaking of exams, there are times where we studied so hard but the outcome is just huge disappointment whereas for others who didn't seem to study that much, get excellent grades. That sometimes frustrates us, doesn't it? Well, like they say study SMART not study HARD. When you receive your exam timetable, start studying little by little instead of cramping everything a day before the exam. That’s a habit most of us seem to have. So drop that habit and start revising early and trust me, when your results come out, you will not regret even one bit of it.
Those people who have As’ or A* definitely didn’t just start studying at the very last minute. Well, there are people who study last minute and get good grades. I guess they are the exceptions. Probably they listened well in class when their teachers are teaching or maybe they are just people who learn fast. All of us have different methods when it comes to studying. An example would be how a person can study better when he/she listens to music while studying or walking around while studying. We all need to find out which method fits us best to ensure that we get the best results. So all the best and good luck to those who have exams coming up!
