With midterms and winter break right around the corner, life can become really stressful really fast if you don’t know what to do about it?.Here are a few ways to deal with the stress and anxiety of the holidays.
When it comes to midterms, they can make or break your grade which can become really stressful and overwhelming. One way to make sure you do well on midterms is to study. I know that seems very obvious, but there is more than just one way to study, and you may be able to find a way that works for you. A few good ways include making flashcards, prioritizing your tasks with what you struggle with most, asking a friend or family member or even an administrator to help you and quiz you, and setting goals for yourself.
Another way to help relieve stress for midterms is to make sure to rest and get enough sleep the night before each exam. Another good thing is to communicate with your teacher, because a lot of the teachers here at Ballard are more than happy to help a student in need.
With the holidays also rapidly approaching, sometimes the break itself can cause vast stress. A few good easy ways to deal with stress is to remove yourself from the situation. If there are a lot of people around for the holidays, it can get overwhelming with many people. Sometimes, stepping away from everyone can be useful. Another good thing to help manage this stress is to do things that you enjoy. While it may be obvious, it can be good to take time to do your own thing over a break.
I hope that this can help you deal with the stress and anxiety of the holidays and ace your midterms.
