What Stress?
Today’s post on the Law School Academic Support Blog – Let’s Talk about Stress – lists some of the all-too-familiar symptoms of negative stress common around exam time, such as churning stomach, headaches, and lack of sleep. It also suggests some tips for managing stress, like striving for an excellent answer on an exam as opposed to the perfect one, and avoiding people and situations that add to your stress.
Here are a few more stress management ideas from on and about campus that might help you through the upcoming exam period –
- Relax for a few in the Law Library’s student lounge.
- Schedule a massage from a licensed therapist.
- Go for a swim.
- Take a yoga class, or try spinning, tai chi, water aerobics, or another fitness class.
- Consider studying at the Schwartz Library for a change of pace.
- Attend a Brownbag Concert at Trinity Cathedral. (There’s a Messiah sing-along on Dec. 21st.)
- Catch a show at PlayhouseSquare.
- Cheer CSU’s men’s and women’s basketball teams at the Wolstein Center.
- Whatever you do, plan a little time for yourself, away from the casebooks and outlines.
