Taking care of your health and practicing healthy habits is a key strategy to manage stress during exam time.

Trying to do it all can feel overwhelming, but even taking 10 minutes to do something for yourself can make a difference in managing stress. 
Visit staff from Student Health & Wellness Outside Main Cafeteria on November 13th between 12.30pm and 2.30pm who'll be sharing some tips on stress management.
It can often be a challenge to take a minute to ourselves, so why not make self-care a habit and Take10.
