Managing College Anxiety During Finals

Anxiety in college is incredibly common but completely manageable with the right tools. When finals hit

or deadlines pile up, your breath becomes your best friend. Try the four seven

eight technique. Breathe in for four counts, hold for seven, exhale for eight.

This activates your parasympathetic nervous system and literally calms your body down.

Time management saves lives. Break big projects into tiny tasks. Instead of write

entire paper, try research three sources today. Your brain loves checking off small

wins. Here's the truth nobody tells you. Reaching out for help is the bravest

thing you can do. Most colleges offer free counseling services through student health centers.
