Study break tips: food, folks and fun
When long hours of studying start taking their toll on

"Chocolate chip dough is my weakness," she said. "I
guess I sort of take my frustrations out on it while I relax in
front of the television."
This time of year, many KU students find themselves studying long, grueling hours for their finals. And many times, students find comfort away from the monotony of their studies by resorting to activities they enjoyed during their childhood.
"Sometimes after you've been studying, it's good to go for a walk and see little kids playing," Jennifer Wright, Kansas City, Kan., junior, said. "I think anything you do that brings you back to when you were a carefree little kid relieves a lot of stress."
Wright said she read that coloring helped to relieve stress. Now there is a stack of coloring books on her coffee table.
"After a lot of studying, my roommate and I take 30-minute coloring breaks, and it really seems to work," she said.

A late-night studier, Steven Hasvold, Bonner Springs junior, said he liked to dance to country, rock or jazz music to rejuvenate himself for studying.
Frank Desalvo, director of counseling and psychological services, said he did not know if childhood activities helped all students relax. But he said for some people who found something they really enjoyed during their childhood, it might enhance their free-time away from studying.
"As crazy as it might sound, I light up a cigarette, hold it and dance in my room," he said. "It gets my energy back
"The concept is not so much that the activities relate to childhood but that they are a much needed distraction from current studies," he said. "Taking breaks recharges the batteries in students. It clears their minds, giving them a fresh start."

up."
Many students like to spend time with friends or roommates when they need a break from the books.
Ryan Lynch, Lenexa junior, said he and his roommate played hockey and basketball on Super Nintendo for a studybreak.
"It's a good stress reliever," he said. "We take out our aggressions on the TV instead of our books."
Lynch also said he drank a lot of Coke during finals. "I live on Coke, except I drink warm Coke," he said. "It's something I've done since I was a little kid."
Natalie Rollins, Springfield, Mo., junior said that next week as she was studying for her finals, two of them back to back, it would be the perfect excuse for her to indulge in junk foods.
"I eat a lot of candy when I'm studying for big tests," she said. "Sometimes I even stay on campus so I can raid the vending machines. Usually I eat chocolate. Cheese Doritos and Snickers is the perfect combination."
