We tend to forget that the exam season is a battle, not a war. CAT, XAT, and the other acronyms are the battles in this war. So here are three things you should do in December, now that the CAT is done:
1. Chill
Catch up on your sleep. You favourite shows. Have you watched Fantastic Beasts and where to find them? If you haven't, I am totally judging you.
Go on a (small) trip. See your friends. Convince them you weren't lost in the Himalayas despite the rumour that your best friend from middle school started on Facebook.
2. Study
Even though the mother of all the exams is done, you still have the rest of the alphabet soup to contend with. XAT, SNAP, TISS-NET and whatnot. So brush up yourself, and grit your teeth. There is more to come.
3. Introspect
The interviews will begin soon. Is your CV ready yet? What is your answer to 'Why MBA'? Who are you, and why should you be in IIM/XLRI/insert-any-other-name-here?
Start thinking, bucko.
