The Tea: Fingers Crossed

by Liz Anya

Hey cubs.

This week, we officially waved goodbye to our fifth formers as we barrel towards exam season. Meanwhile, the pride lands have suddenly become a ghost town, while the buzz around the latest lime is reaching a fever pitch!
Yup, it’s that time of the year again, folks. The pressure’s mounting, the textbooks are gathering dust, and somehow, the details of last weekend’s “Raft Up” seem way clearer than the intricacies of photosynthesis. We’re masters of the social calendar, knowing exactly who’s wearing what to prom, but when it comes to simple reading and arithmetic? Crickets.

Look, I get it. Hanging out with friends, making memories…that’s a vital part of the school experience. But let’s be real, those grades aren’t going to magically appear.
So, as the exam clock ticks down, maybe let’s try a little shift in focus. Just a nudge. Perhaps swap one late-night chat for a quick review session. Maybe skim a chapter before scrolling through the latest social media feed. Even a little bit of focus effort now, can save us from some serious stress later.

Catch you next time.
