Adding in fun study breaks will let you relax, keep you focused and help you stay alert.

Monday, April 25, 2022 Study breaks will benefit you during the next few weeks

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.
