Stressed?

First, there is the much needed Thanksgiving break. But then we are in Dead Week. Meaning.... The professors pile it on. "It" being stress and homework. So, here are a few tips to help relieve that stress:

• Assigned something rather large and important? Get it started right away. I know that college kids are known for procrastinating and then thrive on caffeine. BUT-get it taken care of sooner than later and you will be glad you did later on.
• To avoid that "overwhelmed" feeling, you should take a break every now and then from your work. A 5-10 min breather and mental break; take some deep breathes. Go for a little walk or call someone.
• ^^ More along those lines, if you find the time, go exercise. It's a great way to get the blood flowing and clear your head. And it's a healthy way to blow off some steam.
• Eat right! What you eat effects your performance.
• Get some sleep! You will retain more of the information you have been studying if you go to bed earlier and get at least 6 hours of sleep.

Good luck on all your last papers, projects, and tests! :)
