Getting
bombarded by two hour long exams for a whole week while trying to study can
seem like a lot for a anyone to handle, especially during her first year.
Studying in advance is a great way to decrease the workload of the week. Even
with those hours spent preparing, students still need some ways to get rid of
that extra stress.
1)
Attend
Destress Fest!
Penn State offers
free ways to chill out during the week at the library. There are free coloring
pages, snacks, and coffee. Take a few friends and hang out for an hour or two
to break away from the studying frenzy.
2)
Watch
Some Netflix
Laughing your heart
out to a TV show will definitely make you feel better between exams. I
recommend The Office, Friends, Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt, and The Good Place.
Everyone feels better snuggled up in a fuzzy blanket and watching some
comedies.
3)
Arrive
at Your Exam Early and Know Your Exam Location
There is nothing
worse than running to a final exam while frantically looking on your phone for
the testing location! Be sure to look for the location in advance and plan to
get there 15 minutes early. The extra time will let you pick a great seat and
settle in for the final.
4)
Go
Out to Eat for Some Healthy Food
A girl’s brain has to
do some hard work during the week. You want to make sure that your body has good
nutrients to fuel all that brain activity! Try to pick some healthy food prior
to your exam. It will help prevent that sugar crash midway through the final
and help you stay full for the whole duration. Grab a friend and treat yourself
to some Fiddlehead!
5)
Workout
Few activities
compare to the pure rush of endorphins post-workout. Take some time to plan in
a workout class or run. The workout will help you get rid of all the tension in
your body and give you an energy boost to help push through the day.
No
matter what activity you choose- make sure to enjoy it! You are a strong and
intelligent woman that is about to crush some finals!
