As a student or a parents, these and many more stressors are apart of your everyday life. Try not to get too overwhelmed. Make sure you relax and follow these simple tips.
School
As much as school is about learning and getting a good education, loosen up a little bit. School doesn’t always have to be so stressful.
Enjoy lunch, recess, and study halls
Chat with friends in between classes
Form friendly relationships with your teachers, professors, and the school staff
Make school a place where you look forward to going to everyday. Yes, the classroom and learning material itself may be stressful at times , but don’t let that take over your school.
Tests
Have you ever heard someone say they are looking forward to a test? Probably not. Tests are HUGE stressors in a student’s life- always trying to get a great score. Remember:
The point of a test is to see how well you know the information taught in class
Test scores are just a number
Knowing the material is more important ( although it may not seem like it at the time ) than the test score itself
Research
Research is mostly used in high school and college. As a freshman in college, I am being introduced to new ways and form of doing research. I can tell already that research is a big part of college life.
When it comes to research, there are sooooo many resources available. Choose the one that is right for your research, not just because its the first option on google
ALWAYS site your research. Plagarism is not tolerated and there are always severe consequences if you do so.
Sighting Research Motto: It is better to over-site than under-site, but DO IT RIGHT!
Extracurricular Activities
Emphasis on EXTRAcurricular. It is always good to get involved in school, but when doing something extra is causing a lot of stress, relax.
Remember that extracurriculars are for fun
They should not be causing stress, but a time to decrease stress and enjoy
Studying
How does one expect to do well on a test? Study! But studying does not mean you have to spend hours in the library, stressing yourself out. Study in a way that is best for you-
Alone- just you and your course material
In study groups with other students
With the help of your parents
With music or the TV on (yes, as crazy as it sounds) to relax you while you study
Study snacks
Always remember, there is not one way to study, so do what works best for you. As a college student, I have learned that coffee and late night studying snacks are my new best friend. I would recommend treating yourself to a study buddy (cookies are always delicious) to take some stress away from your studying.
Social Life
Yes, we primarily go to school for an education, but hey, who says we can’t have fun?! However, don’t let that fun get in the way and become stressful
Have priorities- although a friend might be having people over on a Sunday night, that is not a good excuse for not studying for your test on Monday morning
Don’t let friend drama interfere with your school
Make sure your social life is one thing, and school and your education is another
S.T.R.E.S.S.
Stress in life is never going to be fully avoided, but being able to manage stress and decrease it where that is possible will make the school year a much better experience, for parents and students
