    Staying motivated in brilliant weather?
    Is anyone else having trouble trying to stay motivated to revise for exams in this really nice hot weather? Anyone have any tips?

    I did but then I thought about sweat, skin cancer and how more people- most of whom are prats- would be crowding up the place. I also look at it as a reward, if I study now and then do my exams I won't feel any guilt when I go out later, if I go out now I'd only feel guilty about not studying.

    Ignorance is bliss, I suppose.
    I'm never going to get my firm offer if this sun keeps up. As I live in Wales, this is a rare occasion.

    Make your firm offer. The sunny weather isn't worth it.

    I feel for you. Luckily, my exams are over but usually they always coincide when the once-a-year beautiful weather comes. Could you not revise outside in the garden maybe with some earplugs and a cold drink? If that would be too distracting, like someone said the best you can do is shut the curtains and remind yourself when your exams are over you'll be care free and able to enjoy the sunshine too
