Students offer insight into exam-time stress BY JACOB DAVIS THE GAMECOCK A fruit pack, snacks, candy, in stant drinks and a complimenta ry mug are just a few of the things students will receive if they pick up an exam care package from the Residence Education Office this week. Packed with treats and tips, the package could be just what stu dents need this time of year, now that they’re finding it’s time to grab their favorite brain food and hit the books. Finals week means different things to different students. For some students, exams are no sweat. First-year business student •Joe Tirpak said, “I don’t let exams stress me out because I’m confi dent Fm as well-prepared as I can be.” For others, experience is the key to getting over their exam jit ters. Second-year marine science student Zac Duval said, “Having a year of experience has helped me know how to schedule my time and be well-prepared.” Then there’s the majority of students on campus who acquire that sweaty, wild-eyed look from spending sleepless hours hunched over a book under a hot desk lamp. First-year sports manage ment student Steve McMenamin said he’s usually one of those stressed-out students. “I’m thinking I’ll be spending a lot of time on my porch studying,” he said. The problem of stress is not a new one. Staff' members at the Counseling and Human Development Center said that ev ery year they see students in need of help because of stress levels. Stress can be such a paralyzing factor in college life that there is even a counseling group offered at the center to help students cope, health center staffers say. The cen ter can provide helpful informa tion about stress management, in formation such as the pamphlet “Preventing Burnout in College: A Brief and Practical Guide to Navigating College,” provides tips on how to keep stress levels low while still getting tasks accomplished. Students who feel they need to seek help with stress, or with other health prob lems, can contact the counseling center at 777-5223. The Academic Resource Center recommends a number of tips for successfully coping with stress and studying. It recommends re viewing material at least a few nights before the test, and know ing the extent of exam material. Another helpful tip is to empha size specifics, whether they’re for mulas or vocabulary words, that will allow students to better re member entire subjects. Finally, a full night of sleep and a nutritious breakfast can be key to starting the day off right. Whatever their strategy for get ting through the week, students are encouraged to keep things in perspective.
