The end of the semester is the best of times and the worst of times. It means you are so close to the finish line— but getting to the finish line comes at a price. That price, (especially for college students,) is final exams and final projects. Praying to round that B to an A and, calculating the lowest possible exam score you need to pass a class is exhausting. The end of the semester is one of the most stressful times of the year.
During all the chaos of the end of the semester, it is crucial to take a break from studying. Step away from the books. Taking breaks periodically has been shown to help students perform better on tests. Sitting down, poring over textbooks and being glued to your laptop screen for hours on end is not healthy.
A great study break idea is grabbing dinner with friends. And why not get dressed up? Dressing up is scientifically proven to make a person feel better about themselves. So, take an hour away from your textbooks and put on an outfit that makes you feel confident! Then take an hour to eat and chat with supportive friends during this stressful time. You’ll find that when you return to studying after this two- hour break, you’ll feel lots better.
