As finals approach, we are receiving more and more work from our professors. With the ever-growing amount of work and limited time throughout the day, it is important that we are able to study as efficiently as possible. When taking study breaks, rather than hopping on TikTok, consider going for a walk or meditating. Regular engagement with social media can reduce students’ ability to focus and learn. Studies have shown that “people who exercise form more neurons that emit a neurotransmitter known as GABA which has been proven to calm the brain and reduce overall anxiety.” Take a break and ace those finals, Bishops!
