How do you get rid of stress around midterms?
Everyone knows that midterms, exams and finals make people stress out to the extreme. And we all know that stress affects you negatively in so many ways. So it's very important to find something that will take your stress away, especially when you've got a big exam to worry about. So what I did on campus one day, was get my cousin and my sister who both go to SCSU as well, to go to the track with me. The three of us went on a walk/run. Exercise is one of the best ways to relieve stress because it releases endorphins while you're doing it, and endorphins make you feel good. The little exercise session made us feel really good and less stressed afterwards. We got to spend some quality family time, did something that was good for us in more than one way, and felt better afterwards. It felt really good to get out there and forget about all my worries for a little while because all I had been thinking about was my midterms and how nervous I was. Going for a run with two people I'm very close to made me feel a million times better and made me less stressed and less worried about them. I started to feel at ease with the whole situation and I began to think clearer than I had been previously. I realized that I just need to study a little at a time and not just pour it all on myself at once because I won't learn or retain any knowledge that way. And doing everything at once is a great way to stress yourself out as well, but doing everything too late will also stress you out. So I decided I needed to make a schedule of when I would study for my exams and it helped me a lot. The point is, when you're feeling stressed, take a break and do something that will take your stress away and you'll feel so much better.
