Academic stress can stem from grades, deadlines, and societal expectations. Learning effective study habits, staying organized, and taking time to relax are essential.

One thing that I did to cope with academic stress was to stay organized and set my priorities on a daily. I never allowed myself get caught up in the rush. Would always do start my assignments as soon as it is given so that I don't have to be under pressure to complete it. And I set realistic goals for my grade.

I would never rush homework or academic work that had to be completed at home. I would prioritise and have it completed first thing before anything else. This enables me to enjoy the rest of the evening without having to worry about completing anymore studying.

Academic pressure can be nauseating and overwhelming. Think of when you have like three assignments in three different courses to submit. And probably a test the following day. What I do is to setup a schedule when it chokes like that. Tackle the assignments prioritizing which would be first submitted. I would use two hours to study for the test before I sleep.

I break tasks into smaller, manageable parts. I don't wait until deadlines to work on tasks, I make a schedule to avoid last-minute rushes. Taking breaks, practicing deep breathing, and staying active through light exercise helps me recharge. I also seek support from friends or professors when needed.
