On the lead up to the exams there were many times when I had a mini breakdown. I let all my stress overwhelm me. During these stressful times there were a few things that kept me sane. in this little blog post I'm going to tell about some of those things.
Singing:
Just to make it clear, I'm no Beyoncé. I don't sing in front of crowds and I don't do singing lessons. I sing for myself because I love it. I sing all the time just around the house. A few weeks ago, my mother told me that she admired me because I still sang even though I had so much on my plate. For me, singing was a stress reliever and definitely kept me sane.
Music:
Leading on from singing I also love listening to music. Some weekends I would take a couple of hours off from studying. I would play some of my favourite CDs and lie on my bed just listening to them. Afterwards I would feel so relaxed. For those few hours I could shut out the rest of the world and forget about everything I had to do.
Reading:
Reading obviously had to make this list. I am a complete book worm and have to have a book by my bed at all times. While I was studying I would learn a certain topic, read a chapter of my book and then repeat the cycle. Looking forward to reading the next chapter motivated me to study and get it done. Then I could relax for half an hour before getting stuck in again.
Blogging:
Blogging has only become a very recent hobby of mine and I love it! My blog is a place where I can be myself and write about what interests me. I didn't blog last week because I was too busy studying. My blog gave me something to strive towards and look forward to. I couldn't wait for summer so I could give 100% to my blog. Through all the laborious work I knew there was something good at the end of it all.
So those are a few things that kept me sane during the exams. Hopefully, they will continue to keep me sane in the future!
Until next time... I'll see ya when I see ya!
