Finals week can feel overwhelming, but students don’t have to navigate it alone. With a mix of preparation, balance, and campus support, success is within reach.

Breakup with Long Study Sessions

• Try 30 minutes of studying, then take a 10-minute break.

• We suggest taking a break for a snack or a quick walk to relax your brain!

• Switch what you are studying every three hours to avoid subject burnout.

• Set small attainable goals for yourself.

• Example: Complete one chapter review.

Reset Your Mind

• Change your study location to give a fresh feeling.

• Try the Oak Grove, library, or the study whiteboard rooms in Kopchick Hall.

• Study with friends—this can help with accountability.

• Set an award for yourself following your study session.

• Examples: a sweet treat or a short session of doom scrolling.

• Attend De-Stress Fest on May 5 from 3:00 p.m. in the Library.
