During this time, the stress levels of students can reach high levels and this can be overwhelming. However, students around campus have their own ways of dealing with stress and not letting it overtake them and maintain their focus.\u00a0\u201cFor me it can be really stressful because of the workload but taking breaks while you study can be a big help,\u201d Freshman Joe Eric Rivas said. With this being his first semester of college, Rivas looks to face his first round of college finals prepared. \u201cIt is good to make sure you get enough rest too and not overwork yourself by staying up all night because then you can\u2019t focus,\u201d Rivas added.\u00a0Along with breaks, being organized can be a big factor in helping students manage their time \u201cI try to stay organized by creating a study schedule and reviewing material in small chunks,\u201d Senior Dayacelly Garcia said.\u00a0With a creative organization of materials, this can help students in retaining information from their notes that way when it comes time to take the final exam, they will not only be calm but confident as well that they will pass their respective exams.\u00a0Another way to combat the stress of finals is to make sure not to overload yourself by trying to study multiple subjects at once. \u201cI usually make a to do list of topics and chapters I need to study for,\u201d Senior Madison Flores said.\u00a0As students prepare themselves the best way they can, it is good to remember to take breaks, get enough rest, and stay on task.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Javelinas find ways to stay level minded\u00a0 As the 2023 fall semester comes to a close and the holiday season begins to come about, students&hellip; <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":73,"featured_media":9713,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"nf_dc_page":"","_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[5],"tags":[],"ppma_author":[218],"class_list":["post-9704","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-campus"],"aioseo_notices":[],"cc_featured_image_caption":{"caption_text":false,"source_text":false,"source_url":false},"authors":[{"term_id":218,"user_id":73,"is_guest":0,"slug":"christopher-olivares","display_name":"Christopher Olivarez","avatar_url":"https:\/\/thesouthtexan.com\/wp-content\/litespeed\/avatar\/b7f2abd534768f7b113ff462cfd8123c.jpg?ver=1776215705","0":null,"1":"","2":"","3":"","4":"","5":"","6":"","7":"","8":""}],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/thesouthtexan.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/9704","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/thesouthtexan.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/thesouthtexan.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/thesouthtexan.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/73"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/thesouthtexan.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=9704"}],"version-history":[{"count":5,"href":"https:\/\/thesouthtexan.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/9704\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":9720,"href":"https:\/\/thesouthtexan.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/9704\/revisions\/9720"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/thesouthtexan.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/9713"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/thesouthtexan.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=9704"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/thesouthtexan.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=9704"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/thesouthtexan.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=9704"},{"taxonomy":"author","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/thesouthtexan.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/ppma_author?post=9704"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
