Having back-to-back exams is the worst. I’m feeling really stressed out with 3 exams lined up next week, all upper-level courses that I really need to excel in. To make it even tougher, my hardest and longest exam is scheduled last, right after two night exams the day before. Typically, my exams have been spaced out, so I’m struggling to retain information while studying for three classes simultaneously. I’m graduating in May, and to be honest, I’d much rather spend my week in the lab focusing on my research instead.
