Self Preservation while Schooling

Schooling is a busy time of life. Spending full days in lectures and classrooms is tiring. You go home exhausted yet still you push yourself to study, finish assignments, etc. One can easily lose oneself in the stressful demands and rigour of school. This blog covers some easy steps to help preserve your sanity through school:

Personal Time
  • Set aside one evening every week just for your self
  • For that one evening, don't do anything related to school
  • Do something you really enjoy
  • Make it regular and make it consistent
Quiet Time
  • Set aside some quiet time for reflection, meditation, and/or prayer
  • Preferably daily; however, I find that consistency is more important than frequency
Time Off
  • If you're feeling burnt out, take a semester off and take a temporary job or go on a vacation
  • Co-op/Internship semesters can help as well
