Everyone knows how stressful exams can be and procrastinating is no news to anyone. AEGEEans on Exams was created entirely for this purpose: to stop you from wasting time on facebook and encourage you to study hard to pass those exams. Using photos from various events in AEGEE with no other people than AEGEEans from all over Europe and a strong message made to urge you to go study instantly, AEGEEans on Exams is really doing their job, so you can do yours, that is, studying for exams! Read this article below about their initiative and more, then go back to your studies!
The AEGEEan: How did this initiative start?
AEGEEans on Exams: It was at the beginning of February that the person who had the idea for AEGEEans on exams was bored, so she created some memes and sent them to some friends in our group-chat. Actually, they were ten or more memes and we decided to create a page in order to share them with other AEGEEans. During the first weeks we had many ideas. There were posts every two or three hours. When the exams were over, we had not that many ideas, so the page was dead. Now that it is exam period, we decided to work on it again. Unfortunately, most of us are busy with exams and work, but we try our best to have at least one post per day.
How does it work exactly?
If someone from the team has an idea, they create the meme and share it with the rest and we agree if we will post it or not. There is also the option for the fans of the page to send us a meme or ask us to create one. So if anyone out there has an idea, do not hesitate to share it with us! We will keep your identity anonymous [smiles, ed.].
Do you plan to post only memes and pictures related to exams or are you thinking of extending it?
We have not thought of extending it. Do you have any recommendations?
What kind of advice would you give to someone who has a lot of exams and little time to study?
Coffee, energy drinks and chocolate are your fellow soldiers, my friend [smiles, ed.]. You can win this war! Your studies are your number one priority. You can sleep more when you are dead [laughs, ed.].
Which movie/series would you compare the exams season to and why?
This is tough… We discussed this question A LOT! There were many series that we thought might match. Our final decision is…….. Supernatural! There are easy and hard cases Sam and Dean have, there are easy and hard examinations during the exams period. Still in the end, the heroes survive [smiles, ed.].
Can you write a declaration of love for the exams season?
Our lovely exam season, we love you to the moon and back. Please be gentle!
Any last words before the exams season ends?
May the Force be with you!
