Last day of exams

Hello! Hope you're all well and that the exams and other assessments are going well too.

I've finished! All my compulsory university work is over; no more exams, no more assessments, and no more lectures and tutorials, so I'm taking a couple of weeks to relax before moving home for a while and starting back at my summer job.

The past week has been a mixture of many emotions; nervous for exams, excited to complete my degree and also nervous, happy to spend time with friends whilst revising together and then sad that soon I will be saying goodbye to them. For this blog post though I would like to focus on Friday - the day of my final exam of third year.

After some last minute revision in the morning, I was prepared to sit my exam in the afternoon. After finishing the exam, and therefore finishing my university degree, I wasn't sure how I was feeling. I met up with some friends after the exam
had finished and after a little walk around the mall we met up with around twenty other people from our year of the Psychology course for a meal. It was a lovely way to end what had been a stressful day but also a lovely way to celebrate with good friends all the hard work we had put in for the past three academic years.

Me and two of my friends also bought little books for people to leave nice goodbye messages in. It was a really good idea so I can look back happily over nice memories that I have made. Later on in the evening we went to a local bar where everyone was and celebrated finishing three years of university. In the end I was far too happy to celebrate our achievements with good friends through the meal and meeting at a local bar that I wasn't sad at all because of all the happy memories I have.

The only thing left is the student conference so we can show off the hard work we put into our dissertations and of course GRADUATION DAY! The conference is on Friday and then graduation in July where I will say the sad goodbyes to my friends. To all my university friends reading this, thank you for the past three years and I look forward to seeing you at the conference and graduation! To the people who are reading this who are in the middle of exams and final assessments, good luck! I'm sure all your hard work will pay off.

See you next week!
