Putting on weight due to revision!

So each year, during the lead up to every set of exams, I've always put on a bit of weight, which I usually burn off in the summer holidays afterwards.

This time round though, I looked in the mirror and its somewhat worse than it usually is. Summer cannot come soon enough!

Anyone else putting on weight during the revision period?

Don't say that

I just want to get it done and over with...I hate these exams.

Have you ever heard the term "a healthy body is a healthy mind". It's proven that working out and staying active ect... can actually help your cognitive abilities, proven by many studies (search it up). But the fact is, you need to have a balanced diet, drink loads of water (when I revise, I drink loads of water which can burn of fat) and you need to stay active.

As a matter of fact you need to be 50/50 on situations like this. Your life needs to be in a state of balance, because balance is the key.
Hope you take my advice into account, and enjoy your revision

Personally I hate coursework. Provided you allocate enough revision time, exams are a doddle.

I wish I was doing revision now, instead of this stupid coursework, which has been driving me bananas lately.

Hear hear.



Excellent tactic. Hope you get your 1st, good luck!

I agree tbh, the cwk is a pile of b.s. and I usually end up getting bad cwk marks too (not for all just some of them) -____-

Likewise. From what I have seen you are nearly done with it, aren't you? Have you received your dissertation grades yet and are you taking end of year exams?

As you can see, my degree is essay-based and I have to pick 3 questions out of 16, so I am just focusing on those chapters which come over and over again on past-paper exams.

Yeah with the way some coursework is designed, you sometimes wonder whether your brain still exists and is actually functioning. lol

Can't wait to get this cwk out of the way, and start revising for exams.

Is your degree split 0:40:60?

At this point I've kinda said **** the cwk and have begun slow revision for my exams although I'm struggling to find motivation to keep it up lol

Yep. (Or is it 33/67? Not entirely sure lol, but I think it is 40:60)



Sounds risky, but I guess you do have a point. I will keep trying with coursework for a while longer, it is still too early for me too give up.

If my calculations are right, I only need to pass (40%) my exams/coursework to get a 2:1, and need to get 60% to get a 1st. Obviously I am aiming for the 1st though.
