The finals are usually the most stressful time of the year for most students.
Students have different ways to cope with the stress that the finals have on them. Some feel as though resting is the best way for them to kill their stress, while others think watching or doing other activities make them feel at ease without having to think about the finals. Research from mentalhealthamerica.net “ finals season are always a challenge, and many ways we try to deal with that stress end up putting additional stress on the mind and body.” Some students tend to create a plan for how they are going to handle finals by prioritizing and making list of study times and set their goals to high standards. On the other hand, many others just relax and hope for the best.
