I would like to talk about a time when I was extremely busy. It happened last semester right before my mid-term exams. At that time, I had to study for five different subjects, finish a biology group project, and attend extra English classes in the evenings. Because of all these responsibilities, every day felt like a race against me time. The most difficult moment was one night when I had to stay up late memorizing formulas for both maths and physics. I was I was trying to prepare for two exams at the same time and by the end of the night, I felt completely drained. Fortunately, I managed to submit all my assignments on time and sit all my exams. What made me really happy was that I actually did it better than expected in my math exam. Looking back, I learned an important lesson about time management. I realized that I need to plan ahead instead of leaving everything until the last minute. Although it was a stressful period, it taught me how to deal with pressure when I have too many things on my plate.
