The 11 Stages of Revision We All Go Through The 11 Stages of Revision We All Go Through Revising is hard. Really hard. So hard, in fact, that procrastination is the mind’s natural method of self-preservation. Sort of. Either way, we’re lucky that we have Twitter to act as a diary at every stage of the revising process. As proof that you’re not on your own, here’s the 11 stages of revision that everyone goes throughâ€"we’re praying for you!1. Peer Pressurepeople die hard revising already are making me so stressed plz stop pic.twitter.com/eHZaeXmufsâ€" sally?? (@sallyxellen) March 19, 2017Before you’ve even started thinking about revising, it seems everybody else has already started. You just want to live your life, so you start (desperately) thinking of other things you “need” to do.2.

CrisisWhy am I incapable of just sitting and revisingâ€" Riley (@Riley_Low) March 28, 2017You suddenly start to panic, asking yourself, “Can I do this? Do I actually want to do this? What will happen to me if I fail this exam? Could I afford to fail this exam? What’s for dinner? What if it’s me that’s the problem? What if I’m incapable of revising properly?”You think, “Maybe my friends are finding this hard, too.” So, you decide to go on Instagram (because why not: it’s not like you’ve got anything else to be doing).But even there, it’s not safe.5. ParanoiaSwear people purposely put them revising on their story to stress other people outâ€" grace?? (@gracemorrisxx) March 27, 2017You star t to compare yourself to everybody else that’s revising.
