Take10 - Final Exams & Self-Care
Join staff from Student Health and Wellness Thursday April 13th from 1:30pm to 3:30pm on the Main Floor of the CP Library for our final Take10 of the school year to brush up on effective study methods, practice some self-care, and even grab a healthy snack to support you in your studying!
Remember, taking care of yourself is just as important as studying for your exams. By prioritizing self-care and using effective study methods you'll be better equipped to handle the challenges of exams and come out the other side feeling more refreshed and energized.
Study Tips
| Create a study schedule | Plan out your study sessions, including breaks and time for self-care activities. This will help you stay organized and motivated. |
| Practice active learning | Engage in active learning by creating flashcards, writing summaries, and practicing past exam questions. This will help you retain information better than passive reading. |
| Collaborate with classmates | Form study groups with classmates to discuss and review course material. This will help you reinforce concepts and gain new perspectives. |
| Take breaks | Take regular breaks to avoid burnout and improve focus. Use the Pomodoro technique, where you work for 25 minutes and then take a 5-minute break, to stay productive. |
| Seek help | Don't be afraid to seek help from professors or tutors if you are struggling with course material. They can provide additional resources and support. |
| Prioritize self-care | Make sure you prioritize self-care during this time. Schedule time for activities you enjoy, such as reading, taking a bath, or watching a movie, to help reduce stress and promote relaxation. |
| Get enough sleep | Getting enough sleep is essential for memory consolidation and overall cognitive function. Aim for seven to eight hours of sleep each night and establish a consistent sleep routine. |
| Eat well | A well-balanced diet rich in fruits, vegetables, and protein can help boost cognitive function and energy levels. Avoid sugary snacks and junk food, as they can lead to energy crashes and affect your concentration. |
