Forget the stress, remember the spring!



many students (especially in UK) will get distress when it comes to spring. its because the examination time around May and June. lack of sleep because study hard, affraid of getting bad scores or even failed, there are so many reasons to hate May and June. especially when you find a subject from your course that its hard to understand, most of the students will get more stress than before.

well, like a glass with a half full of water... it can be two different perception on that glass. some with say the glass is a half empty, its not enough! while others maybe say: alright,, its a good sign, we already have a half full and we're close enough to make this glass full!

this May and June maybe the time when most of students grumble, its the 'hell' time. but consider another factors in this season. we got a lot of reasons to be happy, at least because this is the spring times! from my own experience, spring is one of the most beautiful moment to stay in UK. here the reasons i could suggest:
  1. you can see the flowers and the trees bloom; its such a beautiful view if you see around you there are a lot of beautiful flowers blooming and the trees goes green again. you can take pictures or you can smell the flowers
  2. walking in a beautiful shines morning; i walk every morning through eaton park to the campus every day, and it such a great walk when you can see young and old people on the park , bringing their dogs and play together. or to see kids smile upon you, or people with happy faces greet you
  3. playing sport on the park; you can play various of sports with your friend, without getting frozen.
  4. more attractions; many theme parks are better to enjoyed in a spring time, also you can ride small boat on the river where its impossible on winter season
  5. no more slippery road; you dont have to be affraid anymore of getting fall because of the slippery road, and it also means no cancelled journey because of the bad weather

and so many reasons to mentioned, well rather to get more stress because of the examination schedule.. let see a better side of this May and June.. it is the spring time!! and let do some outdor activities!!
