As the semester comes to a close, we want to remind you to maintain your intellectual well-being as you prepare for upcoming final exams.


What is Intellectual Well-Being

Expanding your personal collection of knowledge and applying it in your life.



Maintain Your Intellectual Well-Being

Tips to make it through finals

Plan a study schedule

  • Be sure to schedule breaks. Use that time to hydrate, call a loved one, and get physical.   
  • Set realistic goals for yourself each day.
  • Use your time efficiently. Remove all distractions and set up an effective study space.

Engage the other dimensions of well-being

  • Eat foods that will fuel your brain, such as nuts, avocados, berries, and dark chocolate.
  • Get a good night’s sleep leading up to the exams. Better sleep leads to better academic performance, recall, and mood.
  • Engage in positive self-talk. Be kind to yourself and celebrate your accomplishments.
  • Remember that students who use unprescribed Adderall have no significant gain in academic performance.

Do: Meditate

Meditation can help to calm your thoughts, relax, relieve stress, and be more productive. It’s also a great way to take a break or help you get that sleep you need.

Check out this guided mediation made specifically for students who need help focusing or preparing for an exam.
