Thursday, May 2, 2024 Try these study breaks to reduce end-of-semester overload

While cramming for tests and projects may seem like a rite of passage to generations of college students, it's not the most productive way to study. Even with the best-laid plans or intentions, the last-minute cram is not uncommon. That doesn’t mean you should keep your nose in the books all day and night. In fact, that can diminish the quality of your study session and your mental and physical well-being. Periodic breaks help you stay focused and alert.
