It's easy to get wrapped up in studying, and they need to step back for a minute and relax and have fun. Along with stress-relieving activities, the Campus Judicial Board will also provide literature concerning academic integrity and exact University policy regarding cheating. Mojaddidi said that she hopes that De-Stress Day will gain more support in the future. This year we're trying to make it grow with the band and other stuff, and we're hoping that other student groups will get involved as the event grows. Diana Davis of the Counseling Center said she supports De-Stress Day, acknowledging the high amount of pressure that students are under.
Most students are concerned about how they're going to do.
Davis added that one of the ways to deal with academic anxiety is through cheating. Davis recommended several simple ways to avoid getting overly stressed out. Some people are better at working close to a deadline than others. I think it's just a matter of knowing yourself. In addition, Davis also said that nourishment and physical activity are important, but often most neglected when students have to study.
