Coping with Anxiety During Finals

Anxiety doesn't define you. When panic hits during finals week, try box breathing:

inhale four counts, hold four, exhale four, hold four. Break assignments

into tiny chunks instead of staring at the whole mountain. Schedule worry time, literally fifteen

minutes to stress, then move on. Talk to campus counseling when sleep disappears or joy fades.

A student once told me asking for help was their bravest moment. Your mental health

matters more than any grade. Reaching out isn't weakness, it's wisdom.

You're not alone in this journey.
