Summer is almost here, but before we can swear off school completely, we have to get through exam week.

Here are some tips to reduce stress:

• Exercise. You’ve heard it a million times, but that’s because it really does work. Not only will you feel better about yourself, but when summer comes along, you won’t regret getting in shape.
• Drink water. When you haven’t had enough water, you feel weighed down. Keep a glass by you while you study.
• Burn a candle or drink some mint tea while you’re studying. The strong scents make you feel more awake.
• Study in blocks of time, and take a break. Let your mind rest for 10 to 15 minutes.
• Don’t procrastinate, but if you do, don’t freak out. Just do the best you can in the time you’re given.

What do you do to avoid feeling stressed out?
