Take10 - Final Exams & Self-Care

Event Date: 
Thursday, April 13, 2023 - 1:30pm to 3:30pm EDT
Event Location: 
CP Library - Main Floor
Preparing for final exams can be overwhelming, but by using effective study methods and incorporating self-care you can increase your chances of success.

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 schedulePlan out your study sessions, including breaks and time for self-care activities. This will help you stay organized and motivated.
Practice active learningEngage 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 classmatesForm study groups with classmates to discuss and review course material. This will help you reinforce concepts and gain new perspectives.
Take breaksTake 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 helpDon'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-careMake 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 sleepGetting 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 wellA 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.

Don't forget to check out the Exam Survival Guide Spring 2023 - it's packed full of tips & tricks to help maximize your success!

It can often be a challenge to take a minute to ourselves, so why not make self-care a habit and Take10.

Good luck!

Are you feeling stressed, anxious, and unmotivated?
Do you find yourself easily distracted?

Unhealthy procrastination can be a significant barrier to self-care for university students approaching final exams. It is important for students to find a balance between their academic obligations and their personal well-being to avoid burnout and achieve success. Additionally, incorporating self-care practices into your daily routine can help improve your overall well-being and reduce stress and anxiety.

Visit staff from Student Health & Wellness on the Main Floor of the Chancellor Paterson Library March 30th between 1:30pm and 3:30pm who'll be sharing some tips to help with time management and how you may be able to incorporate self-care practices into your daily routine. Remember, taking care of yourself is essential for academic success and overall happiness. It can be challenging to balance school and personal life, but with the right tools and mindset, it is possible to achieve both.

It can often be a challenge to take a minute to ourselves, so why not make self-care a habit and Take10.
