There might be a solid reason why exams and fest collide. Maybe the one who makes the date sheet enjoy student’s Tug of War and the constant dilemma of students where we can’t decide to attend the cheerful event or to revise one more chapter.
While the campus is decorated with colorful lights, music, and energy, there is always a batch suffering in silence as their exam is near. Slowly, the sound of page flipping overpowers the festive music, and exam anxiety overshadows the festive energy. The panic arises when we realize that, after endless revision of theory, the practical remains.
But somewhere between this chaos, we learn something beyond textbooks, we learn time management, how to handle pressure, prioritizing our goals, and how to balance our profession with moments of joys which is crucial to maintain work-lifr balance.
So maybe it is not about choosing one but to learn how to enjoy both with better time management. Years later, we won’t remember the exam or fest, but surely the chaos will be cherished with laughter and memories.
Have you ever experienced exam week during festive time?
