Tips for Focus Week

12/11/2018

by Faith Paden, Spiritual Life Editor
At Campion Academy, the week before every finals has been previously known as “dead week;” this is a week where everything not pertaining to academics is set aside to focus in on the end of the semester grades.  Recently, this week has been rebranded as “focus week.” This helps students give that last push to finish out strong.  However, this week always feels so busy. It can, at times, especially feel like a mess.

Sometimes (as my fellow students are aware) being a Campion student can be overwhelming, especially at this time of the year. There is a lack of sleep and high levels of stress.

So to do everyone a favor below I have listed some healthy ways to survive finals week:

  1. Take a nice long warm shower.
  2. Exercise. According to American Psychology Association it boosts the body’s ability to cope with stress and anxiety.
  3. Take one thing at a time.
  4. (In extreme situations) focus on your breathing.
  5. Declutter and clean your room. It’s much easier to study in a clean space.
  6. Green or black tea are good de-stressers.
  7. Consider silencing your social media accounts.
  8. Surround yourself with positive and equally motivated people.
  9. Get started and stop overplanning.
  10. Reward yourself. Even if you fail a test, hey! You still got through it.
  11. Drink a lot of water!
  12. Chew one flavor of gum while studying and chew the same flavor of gum during the test. It’s supposed to help boost your memory what you studied.
  13. Try to write things out by hand.
  14. Take at least 10 minutes daily with your devotionals. Spend quality time with God. It can be easy for us to feel busy and lose sight of God at this time of the year.
  15. Laugh when possible. I would strongly suggest some memes, vines, YouTube videos, etc.
  16. Listen to this awesome de-stressing playlist: https://open.spotify.com/user/faithie-nik/playlist/6LvUkx134uwvpfBtwzeiEv?si=Z_WlXgy8S42akcHD-xbehg
  17. Take some time for yourself. (Quiet time, a movie, reading, etc.) Breaks for just you will be what keeps you sane. Trust me.

I know that these next few days can be hard and stressful. Just remember to make the most of these final few days we have left. We are so close to break; push through everybody and good luck!
