“I go to the gym with my friend and ignore the fact that we have to study.”
“Definitely waking up with a good attitude and lots of rest. Sleep is very important.”
“Better time management and the people around me like friends and family are really supportive.”
“Taking good notes, looking over past assignments, and making sure you know what you’re doing.”
“Towards the end of the school year I like to use a calendar to map out all of my assignments by dates and keep them on track.”
“I like to keep positive affirmations in my head.”
“I spend time with friends and family.”
“Lots of studying to make sure I pass all my classes. I honestly don’t really cope with it. I’m a senior, [so] I deal with it.”
“A lot of time management and getting enough rest to heal my body for the day’s work ahead, and continuing to persevere through the end of the school year until I graduate high school.”
“I need to prioritize sleep and remember that it ain’t the end of the world if exams don’t go too well.”
