Anyone feel weird after finishing exams?

So I've finished all my uni exams, and almost a week later it feels like my purpose in life is gone and I keep waking up feeling like I should be revising.

Anyone feeling the same?

I've just finished masters exams. Since A-Level's I've felt this way. Post exam blues.

Its not that bad this year I guess as I have a grad job that I start soon.

It definitely hits you if you don't have plans for the summer. I used to kill the time by reading/ watching films/ going gym when I didn't have friends or any plans. Definitely helped me develop my personality.

How is masters like, if I may ask? :colondollar:

I've just been resting for awhile, but planning on doing something similar as well as start learning other modules for my course so I won't be bored.

Masters was quite intense. If you ever decide to pursue one make sure you are passionate about the subject.

Studying for the year ahead is a brilliant idea :smile:

Internships and volunteering are also incredibly worthwhile.

Most of us feel that way (especially me), but its best to start thinking of relaxing for a bit, then thinking what to do afterwards.

Yeah, waiting to hear back from a few work experience places after being rejected by many :redface:

If everything fails i'll just be doing a part time work whist volunteering (which I've already got an offer for).

My biggest joy is finishing exams. When I reach that point when I no longer have to study, I am going to be so happy.
