Spending huge amounts of time in the library is a given, but a healthy work-life balance, plus plenty of rest to rejuvenate brain-cells, is a must. Finding the right things to occupy your down time with? Now that can be difficult. But never fear. We’ve cased the World Wide Web today and found two brilliant articles to take your mind off revision (but still keep it bright).
