So I pose the question, what is the best way to revise? 

I will also answer the question: I have absolutely no idea!

Revision is personal, we all revise in different ways and only we know ourselves enough to do what suits us. Whether it's spider diagrams, bullet points; perfectly executed notes or quickfire questions you always have to do what's best for you! Personally, I prefer written revision and practice test papers as I can just sit by myself and get stuck in. I like to have some snacks at arms reach (which results in me gaining some weight whoops) and a little background noise just so my environment is a bit more casual. Probably not the best idea but I also revise in my bed, I like being comfy! One thing that I really do think is key for revision (yes I know I just wrote a paragraph saying you should choose the way you revise and now I'm telling you how to but I promise this is revision gold) is colour coding, it's honestly so beneficial as you can associate certain topics with the colours and it's great for separating the sections you're revising! Another thing is to treat yourself,- it sounds strange I know- have some sort of reward set for after revision so you feel motivated to get through the one hour (or seven) of studying. Lastly, set goals for the future. What do you want to be when you're older? What are you aspiring to? Have a 'steps to success' 'maybe?

If you're at that stage where revision is melting your brain, try out a few new things to find a comfortable revision tactic.

More importantly I also did a spot of shopping; I was on the hunt for the perfect pair of shoes! I had a few brands in mind but ultimately the famous black Dr Martens in the classic 1460 won my heart as I'd had them on my wish list for a while. They did arrive late (it was only a day though) but it was worth the wait! My Docs arrived on New Year's Eve and I wore them for the entire evening in an attempt to break them in- I would say it's a good idea to wear them around the house for a bit because they are so stiff when you first buy them! Needless to say I am in love with my new shoes as they go with everything and are super comfortable once your wear them in for a bit! They are a bit pricey but they look so durable honestly I think it's worth splashing a little cash.
