Think about it: People are going to be busy studying. Quiet hours are enforced, and they are 22 hours a day! Even if I commit to studying everyday, the most I can do is 8, maybe 10 hours, and not continuously. The time that is left over is devoted to food and sleep. I'm a math major, but you don't need to be to realize what a deal that is.
I have three finals to study for and 10 days to do it. That is a much better ratio than I ever experienced in high school, and I am going to take full advantage of it! I am someone who firmly believes that a good night's sleep is far superior to anything else when it comes to school and studying. The ability to relax, to just go through the work and then be able to congratulate myself with rest, is something I am looking forward to it.
Now yes, I know many of you will be cringing as you read this. Many people psych themselves into believing that there is not nearly enough time to study. For some people this may be true. But I still say that enjoying the time you have to sleep, to get a solid 8 hours at least, is well worth it. Try to relax. Focus, keep working hard, but stay relaxed.
I encourage everyone to take advantage of the different opportunities the university gives us to unwind a bit while studying. Go out for ice cream, go find some free event in a hall! There's a lot to do, and taking at least an hour every day during these next 10 days to be out and away from your books will not only make studying easier, but will help your brain rest and synthesize the information better!
Just hang in there everyone, we'll make it though this one.
