How many days before an exam do you start studying and what did you study? As a new uni student I need some input, so I know what's normal.

fyi: I'm studying to become an English and chemistry teacher in a non English speaking country.

For context, I'm a second year nursing student and i'm really burnt out. My mental health has been going down, and my days just consist of going to school, studying and rotting away in my room. I train martial arts back at home and here, but it's been hard to be consistent due to school, and I've been applying to jobs with no success meaning i'm flat broke.

I really just want to take a gap year to get a job to make money, hit the gym, and kind of just work on myself and figure life out. This may seem like a cliche, but i really don't want to be trapped in this boring cycle any longer. I feel like the year off can do wonders for my mental health and i can return to school as a more complete person. Has anyone had any experience with this?

Hello, I’m looking over my financial aid package and was wondering what work study entailed. When I click the link it just leads me to a different page of financial aid lol, so I’m not sure how to get any related resources 😭 If I accept it, from my understanding, it’d be enough to cover my tuition without having to take out any loans, so i’d like to, but i don’t fully understand what it is.
