Preparing for Stressful Exams and Long Papers
Let’s be real—exams and papers can be stressful, but with the right preparation, you can tackle them like a pro. Here are a few tips to help you stay calm and focused:
1. Break It Down: Big projects feel less overwhelming when you break them into smaller tasks. Create a timeline for research, drafting, and editing papers, or study for exams in chunks instead of cramming.
2. Use Campus Resources: NAU has amazing resources to help you succeed. The Academic Success Centers offer tutoring and writing support, and Cline Library has quiet study spaces and research assistance.
3. Take Care of Yourself: Don’t forget to prioritize self-care. Get enough sleep, eat well, and take breaks to recharge. A quick walk or a few minutes of deep breathing can do wonders for your focus.
4. Lean on Your Mentor: If you’re feeling stuck, your Transfer Mentor is here to help. They can guide you to resources, share study strategies, or just lend a listening ear.
