As I have been going around my campus at George Mason University, there has been a lot of stress that I have seen with my fellow students because of Midterms.
Before Finals, Midterms can bog you down if you let them. Here are 5 quick tips on how to reduce your stress during this pivotal time,
1. Give yourself incentive to study.
While candy isn't the most healthy thing in the world, it is something that most people enjoy and it makes those people who enjoy it happy. By giving yourself candy rewards for every milestone that you pass, you can make your productivity go way up.
2. Give yourself a break.
As my good friend Donna says, Treat Yo Self. Whether that be in the form of a nap, some coffee or just unwinding however you feel works for you best. It helps you if you leave what you're studying and come back to it later.
3. Exercise.
As someone who gets in a really weird place while studying, exercise helps me greta grip and helps me destress. It can help going for a run while studying Bio.
4. Study with Friends.
Friends are there for a reason. Having a group of people in your class who you can study with makes all the difference. Last year, I didn't understand the material that was given to me until I had a group of people to help me understand it.
5. If you have multiple subjects to study, don't study them all at the same time.
It usually helps if you allot time to study certain subjects so that you can focus on what is really important. Studying in it of itself is hard, but, studying multiple subjects is harder. Breaking them up helps a lot.
Studying sucks. Hopefully these tips will help you get through the tough times known as Midterms.
