Finals Week Preparations
With finals quickly approaching, and work piling up, remember to prioritize your well-being and mental health. Make time each day to do something active that you enjoy like walking your dog or playing basketball. Take breaks between studying to get up & stretch & drink plenty of water.
Some helpful tips when studying:
- Write in blue ink which assists your brain with memory retention!
- Having classical or instrumental music in the background helps with focus and productivity
- Avoid cramming – study in small increments each day
- Use mnemonic devices to remember vocab words or formulas
- Put your phone in a different room while studying to make the most of your study time & keep focused
Taking care of yourself:
- Get enough sleep (aim for 8+ hours a night)
- Take breaks in between studying
- Prioritize your health (eat well, limit excessive caffeine, move your body)
Power through this week & have a great Holiday break!
