What are some ways you cope with stress during midterms?
“Going to the library more often, like the one at DePaul because it’s open until midnight. I’ll also buy energy drinks to study and go to sleep early to wake up early.”
– Paulo Ramirez, Junior
“Reading calms me down; right now, my favorite book is Thirteen Reasons Why. Or I’ll just take it easy and watch “Pretty Little Liars” or hang out with family members and friends.”
– Hamdi Mohamed, Freshman
“You have to be mentally prepared for midterms, so I’ll go to the library and have some me-time. I’ll stay there for hours to study and look over my notes.”
– Corvez Walls, Sophomore
“Midterms are overrated because people just get hyped up about a test that they think is like a final exam. But if you just pay attention in class, midterms aren’t that big a deal.”
– Dyamond Thompson, Freshman
“I tend to sleep more when I’m stressed. I’m a little bit more focused to study for a test after I take a nap.”
– Omar Fernandez, Freshman
