We are coming up on finals week, what is said to be the most stressful time of the semester. We all focus on getting last-minute assignments done and study as much as we can for our exams. However, it is important to remember to always take breaks. Honestly, I am guilty of once being one of those students who refuses to take breaks because I need all the time I have to study. It got very tiring.
It is important to sometimes sit back and relax. Your brain could only take in so much information in one sitting. Yes, there is such a thing as over-studying. I have reached points where I have studied for too long, went over the same material multiple times, and ended up forgetting some of the material that I had just gone over because I was just so tired.
Some things you can do to relax are hang out with your friends, get coffee or a pastry at Einstein’s Cafe, go out for food or even watch some Netflix. You can never go wrong with staying in and watching Netflix! Also, the most important is sleep, sleep and sleep! We all need to make sure we get enough rest, especially during exam week. Without a good night’s sleep, it could be hard to concentrate while taking exams and that could really affect our grades. Do not stress, winter break is almost here!
