Well I believe we have some power over who we love, it isn’t something that just happens to a person. I think the poets might disagree.

5 Study Breaks

I thought it would be fun for me to share with you all my top five favorite study breaks! Whenever I would have a long study session, especially studying for mid-term or final exams, I would take breaks to stay productive and give my brain a break. I hope you enjoy them!

1. TEA

I’m a big tea and coffee drinker, especially when I’m studying. I just have to have a mug of a hot drink on my desk at all times! However, making a cup of tea is the perfect break when you need one! 

2. SHOWER

The shower is my thinking place! If I’m stressed out and mentally tired, I usually take a shower to think over concepts and ideas, sometimes I even compose whole essay paragraphs while in the shower. It is also nice for relaxing from stress and tension! If you have a bath, I would recommend running one with some bath salts or oils for extra chill. 

3. NAP

Show me a college student who doesn’t enjoy napping? Sometimes I would get back home extremely tired, to the point where I needed to take a nap before doing any work in the evening. However, be mindful and don’t take hour long naps, power naps are the way to go if you want to re-charge! Set a timer for 10-15 minutes and you will be rested enough to do homework in the evening! 

4. WALK OUTSIDE

A good way to take a break after a long and tiring lecture is to take a walk. Sometimes I would walk to the city center from campus (it was a 15 min walk) and catch a bus home from there, especially if the weather was nice. If you’re studying at home, going outside is always a great idea. Although winter is coming, you could walk from campus to a coffee shop and take a break that way. For some, walking helps to think over ideas the same way taking a shower does for me! 

5. WORKOUT

Working out is a good excuse to take a break! I love doing yoga, but any sport /exercise activity would do, whether it would be playing voleyball with friends or just going to the gym for an hour. I love working out at home, so I would take a 30 min break and do a workout! Afterwards, I would have more energy and could go back to do another productive study session! We need endorphins! 

I hope you enjoyed these study break ideas! Let me know how you like to take a break while studying!

types of study breaks for every situation

if you realize you’ve been studying for hours: grab a snack to refuel your body and watch a sitcom to refuel your brain. then back to the books.

if you’re feeling stressed out: take some deep breaths, text your friends, maybe stare at a wall for a few minutes. gather yourself.

if you can’t seem to focus: get moving and get outside. take out the garbage, check your mail box, maybe walk your dog. just get moving and get fresh air. it’ll help bring you back.

if there’s something else going on in your life and you can’t get it off your mind: write down what’s going through your head, sort of like a diary entry. it’ll help you work things out.

if you’re just mentally and physically exhausted: set a timer for 25-30 minutes and take a nap. any longer and you’ll hit REM and you’ll wake up feeling just as tired. once you wake up, get some caffeine in you.

if the material is boring as hell: find another way to study. see if there’s a crash course video online about it or draw out what you’re trying to learn in diagrams and pictures to make it fun.

if people around you won’t shut up: listen to some music. soundtrack and classical music is always good because they won’t absorb you as much as music with lyrics. white noise (like ocean waves, rain sounds, etc.) also works.

if you only half understand a concept: call/message a friend who’s not in the class and try to teach the material to them. this will help you mentally work through the material and will help you remember it as well.
