The exams are over – and so is your motivation?

"Everything comes to him who hustles while he waits." – Thomas Alva Edison

Finally! The autumn semester assessment exams at HSG are over. Now it's time to relax and enjoy the (unfortunately) rather short semester break. Use the time to focus on important personal things again and make good use of your free time, for example by taking up hobbies again or meeting friends and family. Don't neglect your physical and mental health either – do sport regularly and get enough rest.

Even if you're not happy with how you did in the exams so far, don't give up and don't lose your motivation for the coming semester. Be present from the first week and do your best - it will pay off later.

Some exams feel harder than expected, and that's why some of you have a bad feeling about the coming semester. On top of that, the grades are only published weeks later, which can make motivation fade quickly.

However, our experience so far has shown that students who stepped on the gas in the time until the grades were published did much better at the end of the spring semester. Even if you're not happy with how you did in the exams so far, don't give up and don't lose your motivation for the coming semester. Be present from the first week and do your best – it will pay off later.

For many students the bad feeling turns out to be unfounded in the end, and they can even start the spring semester with no or only a few minus points. So concentrate on the new semester and don't worry about things you can't influence anyway.

We wish you continued success and a great semester break!
