Hello everyone! It has been just over a week for me since exams ended and I thought I would share some of the things I have gotten up to, to help me track my memories and document it for everyone to see! Exams can be quite a stressful time but it feels so rewarding and you feel this great sense of accomplishment after you have gotten through it. Similarly, I felt so excited and pumped to start enjoying it! Despite having to still go to school for lessons every day, I am trying my best to find ways to reward myself after getting through exams. So here is what I did to relax and have fun:
Disclaimer: Of course, don’t compare yourself to me or anyone else! Find hobbies and activities that are safe and will make you happy long term to destress after exams!
Monday 27th June 2022 – Watching A Movie and Eating Restaurant Food
On the day when my exams had ended, I decided to reward myself. This was by getting together with my family and watching my favourite Bollywood movie of all time – English Vinglish! This movie contained the perfect hint of self development, culture, family roles, romance, comedy and even adventure! Every time I watch this movie, I come out feeling inspired! Having fun with my family was a great way to chill!
Tuesday 28th June 2022 – Going To The Shopping Centre
After sixth form on this day, my two female friends and I went to the shopping centre Westfield Stratford. I was on a hunt to find some gifts for my sister’s upcoming graduation. This was a triple win – not only was I buying gifts for my sister, but I also got to spend time with friends roaming around the shopping centre and relax after exams! Yayy!
Thursday 30th June 2022 – Sister’s Graduation
This day was an extra special day! It was my sister’s graduation. This was the first and the only day I got to take off school from the whole school year. My sister, my mother and I attended my sister’s graduation to celebrate her First Class in Law LLB from university. It was such a joyful day where I got to take photos in Central London, watch my sister graduating and try new food from Hazev Restaurant Canary Wharf!
Saturday 2nd July 2022 – Solo Travel 2
As a person who loves travelling and getting to know more about myself, I further progressed by going to Canary Wharf by myself! Doing this made me feel even more independent and I also tried a mocha from the shop Pure! Yumm!
