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.
