Finals Week Anxiety: What Worked

Anxiety in college hit me hardest during finals week when I couldn't sleep for three days straight.

Here's what actually worked. Try the four-seven-eight breathing technique. Inhale for four

counts, hold for seven, exhale for eight. It calms your nervous system instantly.

Break your day into chunks using time blocking. Twenty-five minutes focused work,

five minute breaks. Game changer. And listen, reaching out to your campus counseling

center isn't weakness. It's literally the bravest thing you can do. Your mental health

matters more than any grade ever will.
