It's exam prep time!!

Here are our top tips for this study period.

- It's ok to cry while you study, cheeseburgers are great for wiping away tears and an awesome comfort food.

- Tiktok is distracting but also entertaining... make sure you make time for this OUTSIDE of study time.

- We have study pods available and wifi if you need!

- Never be afraid to ask for help. Exams can be stressful and your teachers are here to help. Your success is their success so never be afraid to ask questions!

- Make sure you are getting a good night's sleep. Your brain needs to be loved and cared for if it's going to do good things for you.

- Make sure to have something fun and amazing planned for the end of exams to give you something to look forward to.

Go forth and slay!
