exam stress

hi everyone

This year i have no summer exams, the first time for 7 years. the releif of this is fantastic however at uni stress is never far away in one form or another. i find it etearnaly confusing that the general publics perception of student life seems to be that we are all lazy drunk and sleep till 12 pm; i am sure that some people do spend there student life like this but in my experience these are the minority and those who do try to live life like this generaly fail.

i spent most of yesterday helping my fiancee get through her exams. this largley entaled taking her to them and meeting her at the end of each exam. at the end of her first exam she came out and was so upset because she thought that she had failed the exam, i had to comfort her (not easy as she was very upset) force her to take a break and go for lunch. the point i am trying to make is that university is a very stessfull place mainly because most students care about what they are studying and have to work hard on there work.
