What To Do After Exams

Your exams are finally over and you are relieved that you have done all your exams.

It is approaching summer but you have no idea what to do.

Exams are stressful and very tiring, and after all the hard work and effort you have put in to your exams, you deserve to reward yourself.

We all do.

You deserve a break from your intensive revision that you have done for your Maths, English, Geography and any other subjects you studied.

On this blog post I am going to tell you what you should do almost immediately when your exams are over and give you ideas on what you could do during the summer to treat yourself.

These are going to be from my experience, others that I have seen and from sources on the internet.

Put away all your books, textbooks and papers

Get rid of all your textbooks that you used for your exams.

Put them in boxes and store them away and make sure you cannot see it because most of us just want to not think about the exams and move on.

However, I do not thin that you should just throw them away in the bin because you could make some sort of money out of the.

You can sell your textbooks, notes and anything that you used for revision to students.

Although it may not be for that much, at least you are making a bit of money and making some profits.

Personally, I store my textbooks and books in the cupboard but anything that I know I do not need at all and that I cannot make any profit or money from, I just throw it away.

When you do this, you are creating space for your next academic year and it just creates the feeling that you have finished your exams and that you are ready to have fun and relax.

Start Reading

When I talk about reading, some people would say that they do not like reading and that they find it boring.

But I say that is because you haven’t read the right book.

When you actually look for books that fit your liking, you will find out that reading can actually be fun and enjoyable.

When I mean start reading, it doesn’t just have to be a fiction book because you may not like or enjoy fiction.

It can be a non-fiction book or even a comic book.

There are lots of different types of genres of books you can choose from which is absolutely amazing.

My preferred genres are action and adventures, fantasy, detective and mystery, self-helping and sometimes romance.

However, you may not like what I like, you may like horror or memoirs for all I know.

Reading is also beneficial for your brain and has many health benefits.

It also helps you spend less time on your phone and social media, making you more productive.

Host A House Party

Hosting a house party for you and your friends will help you to not think exams and have fun.

It can help you meet a lot of new people and just basically make new friends.

In a house party, you can arrange some activities such as Bingo and Chess, play music of your choice, find films to watch and snacks to eat.

Hosting a house party can be fun because you are in full control, for example, you can decide what date to do it and the number of guests you want to invite.

You can decorate your house and garden to your own desire, for example you can create a tropical theme if you want.

It is all up to you and that can be quite exciting and interesting.

Learn A Foreign Language

Learning a foreign language can be fun.

Science has shown the positive effects of learning a foreign language and how it can improve our health.

For example, learning a foreign language improves your memory and enhances your decision-making skills which has been backed up by many studies.

Apart from that, as someone who is learning Spanish at the moment, learning a language is exciting but quite challenging as well.

Through learning Spanish, I’ve noticed that I am more conscious of my own language, English.

I am more aware of the English grammar, sentence structure and vocabulary and now I hardly make simple grammatical errors compared to before.

Start Volunteering

Join your local NGO.

Supporting and helping out in your community is admirable because it shows that you care for your community.

It helps you see what is happening in your community and take note on any issues that need to be taken seriously.

You will become more mature by doing this.

Through that you can speak out and encourage other people to help out in their community.

Go out with your friends

One of the best ways to distract yourself is to just hang out with your friends.

What can you do do with your friends?

There are many things you can do with your friends.

This can vary from from going to the cinemas to watch a new released movie or going to the shopping mall to buy some clothes or going to a theme park .

There is so much to do and with that many options, nothing should stop you from having fun and living the moment.

It doesn’t even matter if you do not have friends because that should not stop you from going outside and having the best time of your life.

Go outside and take in some fresh air.

When you go outdoors, you can do so many activities, including hiking, camping or even going to the beach to sunbathe.
