 As exams across universities start to clog your calendar, it can be hard to think about what comes next. If, like me, you procrastinate by thinking ahead, past this chunk of deadlines that seem to be wreaking havoc to your onedrive, you might get a little shock.

After years spent in education, you should hopefully have a grasp on your interests and motivations when learning. Your likes and dislikes.
