We all do it. We cram our last little bit of Studying into the last minute, and then we get stressed out. So here’s a little story. In first year university, a girl on my floor decided it would be ok if she left studying for her psychology exam until the night before...BAD IDEA! Psych has so many different concepts and so many things to learn. So anyways this girl decided that it was also be a good idea to overdose on energy drinks. She had had two big cans of Jolt and as well as some other Caffeine Drinks (coffee, tea, coke, etc). It was early morning when she went knocking on her roommate’s door telling her she needed to go to the hospital ASAP! Her heart was beating so fast she couldn’t breathe and felt like she was going to pass out. She didn’t come back to school after that day. She came back to write her exams then was too sick and stressed out to continue. So here’s the point to the story.
- Do NOT procrastinate, I do it all the time and it’s not good for your body, stress does kill so be careful.
- Make sure you’re getting in your 8 hours of sleep. Make sure you don’t try cramming everything into one night, and if you’re tired go to bed. You don’t retain anything anyways when you’re studying and tired.
- And lastly, do NOT over dose on caffeine drinks, you don’t need them. If you’re getting enough sleep, exercise and are eating healthy, then you should be able to cope without the drinks!
Good luck on your exams everyone! Don’t stress!
