The year is flying by! And it’s the time of the year that college and university students are burying themselves into books to prepare for weeks of final exams. Although freedom awaits for the summer, this is often a stressful time for students as, for most cases, they have to review a whole semester’s work in preparation for their final tests of the year. As stress starts to accumulate, it has a toll on the body, and let’s not forget to mention the countless sitting and poor posture in front of their books.
A lot of students like to isolate themselves as they study; shut out the rest of the world and put everything on hold until exams are done. But did you know that this is a very important time to be mindful of your health.
