Exam week is like hell. I just hope this week will be over. I'm thinking of going to the bar and drink some to release the stress or to watch movie and have a spa session for relaxation.
How about you mylotters? What do you usually do after your exams?

I enjoy the party after completing my exams. Some time watch the movie with my friends. I like the party in restaurants.

I usually rest after the examinations and do something different - as in no studying, or doing something more relaxing or mindless (that also includes sleeping) . This usually includes, surfing the net, hanging out with my friends or walking or exploring a particular place. I also do some video games or look up a particular topic that I want to know. There are times when I do try to review my performance but that only happens when I am unsure of the results.
There also times when I try to put all my papers in order so that I don't have to arrange them in the future.

I usually go shopping after exams. When I go to shopping mall, I would feel much relax.

After exams, I would like to have a long rest! Studying for an exam will usually take me the whole night so I will not get much sleep. That is why after the exams, I need to rest and catch up on sleep. I also want to relax and chat with my friends. For me, these help me reduce stress. Happy mylotting.

Normally after exams, I take a nice long sleep! This is because before exams I would surely be burning the midnight oil trying to do the last minute revision that most other students would also probably be doing, hence the lack of sleep. It normally takes me about 2 to 3 days to recuperate and get back to my usual self. When I'm back to my usual self, then it's time for me to enjoy, relax, look for entertainment and hang out with friends! Oh yeah, and also anxiously wait for the exam results too, of course!

I relax myself.I resume going on long walks,reading my choicest books,watch movies and listen my favorite songs.Going on long walks has been my hobby for years.I set off in the evening and cover a distance of no less than 5 kms walking briskly.Going that far and then returning from there means walking a distance of 10 kms.Generally I go to the jungle that is at the outskirts of my hometown.There I sometimes encounter foxes,jackals and hyaenas.This relaxes me fully.

Well I don't have exams right now.
However when I was in my exam period in my first degree (which was a month, not a week, sadly):
Whenever I returned home from a terrible exam that made me want to kill the lecturer - I would sit down in front of the computer and play one of my favorite D&D games (I believed it was mostly Diablo 2 at that time) killing masters and pretending it is the lecturer or his minions.
This cooled me down, and then I went studying to the next test. Usually when all tests were over - it was already the beginning of the next semester.
When I finished my very last exam in the degree - I went to the beach with my friends and we did a picnic and used the summation of the most annoying lesson (that we know we will never read again in our life) as a way to start the fire. We sat there into the night with good food & a guitar and sang old song.
G-d I miss it.

Exam session is a real stress to be true howsoever prepared you are. Getting freedom from it is itself a big relaxation. I usually plan to continue my sports, badminton, as soon as my exams get over as I am not able to play during exams. Hanging out with friends, evening chill-pills are quite common pass times. I also try and put more and more time to mylot and other useful sites. What I have seen in my case is that I often curse myself for not utilizing my after exam days so as much as possible I try to do something productive.

I just finished my exams less than a month ago. I went to recycle all my books and papers as I wont be needing them anymore,it was really bumming giving them away. Because I moved out of the hostel and bringing everything back home would be just filling up closet space.
Anyway, I downloaded all the movies I wanted to watch didnt matter if I had seen it or not. I would spend my late nights watching these movies. Going out clubbing with friends on the weekends is a much less guilty pleasure now that exams are over. Also a really cool things to do after your exam; learn a new language because although youre not studying , I still find that it is important to keep your brain well from turning into mush from all the television I will be watching. Couch potato mode on. Try watching foreign films. French films can do no wrong if you are seriously considering learning a new language.
Spa sessions , massages, holidays are all good choices. Do things that you wouldnt normally do. Take up jujitsu or taekwando or even krav maga. All the best!
