TURN ON NOTIFICATIONS to get study reminders!
January is exam month... and we’re here to GO GET ‘EM. Join me this livestream to stay on top of work. Try not to leave the stream, until you’ve achieved today’s goals. I’m here every break to support you!

ℹ Some tips for this month:
Try to prepare one exam at a time, as to not get confused while studying.
Study every day for the best information retention. ⌛
Make sure to test yourself from time to time by asking yourself questions about the course material, to make sure you got everything.
Don’t abandon selfcare. Taking care of yourself physically and mentally ensures endurance throughout the entire exam period. Go take a walk outside from time to time, stay hydrated, eat foods containing vitamins and minerals; don’t let your body down. You need it to study!
To keep the morale high, stay in touch with friends or classmates, or talk to your family. There’s more to life than exams and very soon your life will be back to normal, just don’t give up now! Good luck
