 Exam season is upon us yet again and as we know this is the most stressful time of year for any student. We went to the libraries on both the Glass, Neven and St. Patrick's campuses and asked them what measures they will be taking to help students deal with the exam season. We spoke to student union representative Callahan Commons about the issues students typically face at this time of year and asked him what advice he had for students facing a daunting workload. Yeah, there will be more issues during exam season. A lot of people are obviously stressed about the exams and they're worried and nervous but I think the main thing is that the student union is there for them if they don't need to avail of it but the student union will be booking out rooms for their students, space, their studies because the library does get quite packed at that time and will also be handing out fruit and water and stuff outside the library at peak times as well. Breaks are so important during exams. You need to release a break. I take a break about at least once an hour and a half and then go down to the coffee shop on the canteen get a cup of tea, a chocolate, talk to your friends and just unwind for a couple of minutes and then go back up and do more. If you're studying for a three, four-hour flat, your range is going to go to mush and you won't be able to retain 19, so it's just not beneficial to you. So breaks are key. Libraries at both the Glass, Neven and St. Patrick's campuses will be open for 24 hours from Monday the 30th of April until the 21st of May. We ask students whether they will be making use of the 24-hour libraries and how they plan to deal with the exam season. I don't live in the area but if it was open 24 hours I'd probably make use of it and just try to stay with friends. Yeah, definitely using it when it's open 24 hours. I think it's handy because I'd like to study at night rather than during the day. Yeah, I will be. Five exams coming up, so I'll have a lot of work to do. I have assignments coming up as well. I was here last night till about 1 o'clock which found really helpful. It's good that they're open. It's coming up to the exam season. It's dependent on which campus you're going to. I've got a bit of option if you can't come this far. I've just got to jump under the pots and I've got another library there to be a bit quieter I think than this one here. I might do. I don't have any exams. I actually have my dissertation coming up so it might be best just to get a quiet time and things like that but it's not necessary. I could do it at home but if I need to get work done I'll not do much. I'll probably come in here. 100% it's definitely like a resource that I would like to use. I'm here mostly during the day to take your breaks for a day or two. I have a place to stay around here so I will end up using it during the night as well.
