Five steps to avoid stress

We, the UA&P students, are faced with a lot of papers, readings, presentations, reports and the like. It’s not new to us whether we have to submit a paper next week, a report, and an exam on the same week. Some of our friends from other schools thought that we have an endless school works compared to them. The question is how UA&P students manage to accomplish all of the tasks that were given to them? Well, I can’t provide the accurate answer for this, but Project ISKO made several steps for you guys to avoid stress when doing your school works.
First step, do your assignment or paper in advance. What we mean by this is that you should do your assignments at least one week before the submission. This step is the foundation of other steps, and all of the steps are applicable for all year levels because students should be responsible throughout the years of their college life in UA&P.

Second step, read your assigned readings in advance. Same as the first step, you should also read the pile of your readings in other subjects at least one week before the class. We all know that whenever our professors gave us plenty and long readings, it means that there’s a graded recitation; and if we can’t answer, then they will give us 3.5 (Failed). Sad but this is the reality guys, if we will not read and comprehend the assigned readings, we will get a failing mark for a particular discussion.

Third step, create a timetable of your task to do’s. A timetable contains all of your to do’s for a week, and/or for a month. With this, our tasks are organized, and we will never forget to do them. That’s why I noticed that a lot of my block mates have their own organizer and if you can just read what’s in there, you will be shocked because all of our assigned presentations, paper, assignments, and even the date of our finals in each subject are listed down. In my opinion, a timetable is a must because this will help us to be reminded of the tasks that we are supposed to do and after accomplishing our tasks, it’s a good feeling to underline or put a check mark on the tasks that we have finished.

Fourth step, make friends. I know that UA&P students are “social by nature” because it is easy for us to make friends from different year levels, blocks, and courses. Despite the distress that we encounter in our school, our friends help us emotionally and mentally. With this, it fosters team work and cooperation among students. Reality bite: In the real world or in the work place, we need to have a good interpersonal relationship and skill in order for us to create a pleasant environment for us, for our coworkers, and for the company.

Last step, Rest. Yeah right, why did we include this step? Guys always remember that we need to rest from time to time. Without resting, we will not be productive; instead we will just produce disaster outcomes toward our work. We should have proper rest and diet, which means that we still need to sleep 8 hours a day and eat three times a day. Sounds motherly, but believe me, having a proper rest and diet will help you to be fit and work effectively.
The implication of these steps is that if you will follow them, we believe that, you will achieve a well-balanced life (work and personal), and you will have stress-free college days.
