Life is passing you by while studying for these exams? Like you never have time to do anything because you are “studying” so now people don’t even bother to invite you out because they know you will decline. Everyone seems to be so sick of hearing about this exam that consumes my life. 🙁 feeling like I am starting to burn out with this…

I kind of felt the same way. Like I feel like I lost of a few friends – but really those were people I wasn't that close to anyway.

Most of my real friends knew how important it was to me and were for the most understanding of it. Of course, I still tried to make time for the people I care about to – dinners/brunch a few times a months. I think you have to balance it out and give yourself breaks. I took most Friday nights off and I would schedule time to spend with friends – nothing too crazy though I didn't want to be up til 2am since I woke up at 7am to study.

I just finished my last exam this month and honestly this past year/studying kind of seems like a big blur.

I don't know how many exams you're at, assuming we have the same goals to finish before the 2017 changes. We can do it! So hopefully this misery will end in April at the LATEST.

Second of all, find a balance. I do study on the weekends, but I do go out at night when there are events. If you want to hang out, go ASK them. My friends don't ask me to go out anymore, but they DO say yes when I ask them to hang out. So reach your study goal for the day and go out for dinner.

Most of your close friends/family member will understand so don't worry about other. I think it is about balancing out. I have my first cousins wedding coming up next weekend so I know I will not have a productive studying next week starting from Thursday-Sunday (due to different events different days) and yes I have to attend all of them. You will be fine. My goal was to finish this journey by end of this year but after failing FAR twice I don't think so think so it will happen. But still aim is to finish by February 2017 or April at the latest. Good luck!!!

FAR - August 2016
