9 things you should do immediately after finishing the exam

After a stressful time "fighting" with the National Exam. Perhaps, in the coming time, it will be a time for us to comfortably do the following things.

1. Sleep

This is probably what you have been craving for the past year. Not eating, not playing, but sleeping. There are times when you think you can sleep for a whole day without eating or waking up. Just sleep until your eyes are full.

Make up for the days you had to stay up late and wake up early to study, the days when even when you were asleep, your mind was still racing with thoughts of an upcoming exam and having to wake up to study.

At this point, you can sleep all day without worrying about being woken up or anything. Sleep is sleep.

2. Put all books in a hidden corner

Put away the things that have been tormenting you for so many sleepless nights. Put them in a box or somewhere quiet and enjoy the feeling of: Ignoring them.

3. Pick up your backpack and go

Remember, whether you do well or not, you can’t change anything at this point. So, forget everything and go on a long trip. 100km, 300km or 1000km is fine. You can go alone, with friends or with your parents. The important thing is to get on the road and expand your horizons.

I have a friend who, after passing the university entrance exam, asked her parents to travel across the country. Of course, she was supported by her parents both financially and spiritually, so she had the most rewarding 20 days in her 18 years of life. The trip made her realize that there are many things out there that urge you to pack your bags and go because "a day's journey teaches you a lot of knowledge".

4. Spend time learning a foreign language

If you are not good at English or any foreign language, now is the time for you to start. Because foreign languages will give you many opportunities in life, opportunities to learn new knowledge, watch interesting programs or career opportunities.

Learning a foreign language requires hard work and constant effort, so take the time to do it.

5. Find a part-time job

Actually, how much money you earn is not that important, what is important is that you understand the value of money. You can do jobs like waiting tables, selling goods or tutoring for example.

Each job will teach you a skill such as communication, persuasion or being more confident in yourself.

6. Get together with old friends

After the exam results are out, some people are happy, some are sad, some fail, some pass. In general, there will be many reasons why meetings cannot be held. Therefore, while the results are not out, make an appointment to meet up with friends and have fun.

Make a notebook to write down your friends' phone numbers and addresses, you might need them someday.

7. Think about taking a gap year

Actually, at the present time, gap year is no longer a strange issue. Many Vietnamese students have decided to take a year off before entering the lecture hall.

If you really want to do this, how should you plan and convince your parents? What will you do usefully during that 1 year break?

8. Spend time with family

Cooking for mom every day, painting the house with dad, studying with your younger sibling... things that you were exempted from doing because you were busy studying for exams. Only when you go to school far away from home can you truly understand the value of moments like that.

9. Join a reality TV show

There are many interesting reality TV shows that give participants life experiences. Try to register to participate. Obviously, you have the opportunity to refresh yourself and who knows, you will accidentally discover new interests or abilities of yourself.
