Res Life - Tackling Exam Anxiety (Southend)

Each week we'll be posting a selection of online programmes hosted by our fantastic Residents' Assistant (RA) team. Take part in any events or activities which you're interested in. This is a great opportunity to make new friends, stay connected, and be part of our online community.

 Worried about upcoming exams?

Share your worries with other students in our Residence Life RA online activities over this month. RAs are current students at the University who can be a helpful listening ear and help us connect as students on the things we have in common.

For many of us, exam worry is a very common thing. Over this week, we have a selection of RA programmes that will cover a range of content. Come learn about things such as stress management, getting organised and managing your time, as well as unwind over some online games! We'll be covering lots of tools and techniques, and good pre-exam practices such as getting a good night's sleep, eating well, and keeping hydrated. Let's share our study and revision strategies,to feel best prepared for the upcoming exam season. We hope you'll be able to join at least one! 

Below are some events we have for Southend students.
