Benefits of taking breaks from studying

UNIVERSITY life can be stressful for even the most relaxed of students, especially with the workload (assignments) piling up. It can seem especially overwhelming when deadlines are approaching.

We are entering that time of the year when the pace of everything starts picking up. We feel as though we went from taking leisurely strolls over the Christmas and New Year breaks straight into mad sprints as deadlines draw near and work piles up. As a result, we may choose to exert more effort and spend more time working than usual. We can find ourselves growing restless without warning as tension and anxiety begin to mount.
