It is that time of the semester again where the tension is at its peak. We often find ourselves asking: _Am I doing it right? can I complete this handout before the deadline?_ All of this without a doubt can feel overwhelming.
Everyone is preparing in their own way; some are stocking up on essentials (garri and the like), while others have secured their reading spaces for the late night study sessions. Either way, everyone wants to make the most of this period.
As you prepare, it is important to prioritize your health and conserve energy. One of the most crucial factor is healthy eating.You cannot assimilate on an empty or overly full stomach. Eat well!
Also, get enough sleep, relax when needed and do not forget to take deep breaths when things get though. Your mental health matters.
Important hacks and tips:
✓ Study thoroughly, do not leave any topic untouched. Part of being smart is practicing past questions alongside your reading.
✓ Pray consistently. Ask for His blessings and watch how things fall into place.
✓ Ensure to make soups and stews this period; they're economical and save time.
✓ Keep enough stationery and distribute them in your bags and pockets to avoid last minute issues.
✓ Stay hydrated and avoid the mid-day sun; you need to conserve your energy.
✓ Reduce or avoid caffeine; your brain needs rest to give you the best.
✓ Lastly, avoid risky or implicating situations.
Remember, there is a reason an A starts from 70; aim high and give it your best.
And to the 200- level students about to write your anatomy exam in about an hour: you've read even if you're not fully convinced you have: pray, breathe and go in confidently. You've got this!
Success is ours— by His grace!
