Having back-to-back exams is such a nightmare. I’m feeling incredibly stressed with three exams lined up almost consecutively next week, and they’re all upper-level courses where I really need to perform well. To top it off, my toughest and longest exam is scheduled last, right after two night exams the day before. Usually, my exams are more spaced out, so I’m struggling to retain everything while juggling study sessions for three classes at once. With graduation in May, I wish I could just focus on my research in the lab for most of the week instead of dealing with this stress!

I totally get how overwhelming back-to-back exams can be, especially when they’re all upper level and so crucial for your graduation. It sounds like you’re in a tough spot trying to juggle so much information at once. Remember to take breaks during your study sessions—short breaks can really help with retention. Maybe try to focus on key concepts rather than cramming every detail. And don’t forget to prioritize sleep; it’s super important for memory and focus! Just keep reminding yourself that you’re almost there, and you can get through this. You’ve worked hard, and you’ve got this! Good luck!
