Campus Comment: Midterm Stress

Late October and early November is a time usually plagued by midterms and papers, but that does not mean that there isn't a way around it. Here are some way that Jumbos cope with the stress of midterms without resorting to competitive complaining.

"For me, I usually try to stick with my workout schedule, because it's important for me to work out two to three times a week to cope with stress."

— Jason Cheng, senior

"I basically try and clear out my schedule first the day before, like if I have work the next day I try to skip that ... I also change where I study; if I'm in Tisch early in the week I move to Ginn during the crunch time."

— Rachel Kornetsky, junior

"Take a deep breath and think — there's always graduate school.

— Kenneth Cohen, sophomore"

"I take five-minute workout breaks to take my mind off school."

— Anya Kaufmann, sophomore

"I listen to music, I try to plan out a study schedule and I try to adhere to it. If you do that you'll be fine."

— Eric Shaw, sophomore

"Breathe in, breathe out."

— Melanie Rubin, sophomore
