Exam time can take a toll if you’re not careful, due to stress,
lack of sleep, and feeling mentally overloaded.
Stay on top of your well-being by eating healthy meals and snacks
regularly, getting enough rest, and staying hydrated. Some tips to get you through:
1. Eat
breakfast. It will give you energy,
help you concentrate better, and keep you from overeating or junking out later
in the day which can leave you feeling sluggish and less likely to be productive.
2. Eat healthy
snacks throughout the day to keep your energy level up. As with breakfast, healthy snacking can help
alleviate the urge to go for less healthy options at mealtimes. See below for some healthy snack ideas.
3. Exercise. It will lift your mood, take your mind
off the stress, and energize you.
4. Get
enough sleep!
5. Stay
hydrated. Dehydration can make you
feel more fatigued. Be aware that if
you’re loading up on coffee and caffeinated sodas, caffeine is a diuretic and
can contribute to dehydration. Drink
plenty of water throughout the day.
Healthy snacks ideas:
- Fresh fruit is always available at all the dining halls – grab a few pieces and toss them in you backpack for later.
- Grab and Go options around campus include hummus and crackers, yogurt parfaits, fruit & cheese, fruit cups.
- If you live off-campus, pack snacks to bring with you such as a peanut butter and banana sandwich on whole wheat bread, multi-grain chips and granola bars, baby carrots and other cut veggies.
