I think having a simple study routine can make a big difference when academic pressure starts building up. Taking short breaks, setting small daily goals, and avoiding last-minute cramming have helped me stay calmer. Last semester, I was preparing for the GRE while juggling several assignments, and I noticed that planning my evenings made everything feel more manageable. One classmate even joked that he wanted to “take my online GRE exam” because he felt overwhelmed, but we ended up studying together instead. Breaking the preparation into smaller tasks made the whole process much less stressful.
