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.

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.
