Broken record

Anyone else find themselves doing the same thing every exam time? I'm now in 3rd year at uni and since exams at school i can remember always planning to study a month before the exams, then you hit a month before and decide you can do it in 3 weeks, 3 becomes 2 which becomes 1 then my typical exam study ends up being either the day before, the morning of, or non existant. I've always managed to at least pass but you end up thinking "what if i'd studied?" It's the 16th tomorrow, first exam is the 8th of May, then i have one on the 23rd, i've only got two this semester which is nicer than last semester where i had 4 in 5 days. This is the exact time that a good dedicated couple of hours a night of study would result in a nice pass for exams or at least result in no panic on the morning of the exam at my lack of preperation but still it's hard to open a book.

In my GCSE's and A levels i was like the perfect student and revised ages before the exams. In my degree theres so much to do that the exams often creep up on ya, last year i had a day before the exam to revise..... this year i am kinda proud of myself, left plenty of time to prepare some revision notes (essential for me) and i'll have a week for each exam to go over this material and set it in my mind.....though i bet many people say a week isn't enough!

I hate this time of year. I have 5 assignments left to do and about 2-3 weeks to do them. Its a nightmare. I wanted it all done by this point lol. I always find myself looking at my self made schedule and thinking i can do that a different day. And now i have no time left. I have done no work this weekend. I need motivation. Its to sunny to be in doing work lol

Me to a T. Final year exams, revised the night before... Or 2 nights before if I was worried about the subject.

It helps if you do a subject with the mindset that you are learning it for you and enjoy it at the same time, rather than to just get a degree at 1st 2nd third or whatever you are aiming for - doesn't matter what you've get if you've evolved as a person and learnt stuff!

My current essay I quite enjoy the subject, so I've read loads, but I loathe essays and don't find they are useful to my understanding in the slightest, and have put writing it off till the last day...
