Study Breaks

It's exam week and it's been hectic. Everyone's studying and cramming for their tests, no one has free time at the same time, and people are breaking under the pressure. After my psychology exam today I headed back to the dorm to knock out that mountain of homework I've been putting off until the night before it's all due. I couldn't do it and it didn't take long before I was hating math again. So I took a study break. Among my friends I'm pretty notorious for my "study breaks." Instead of taking a thirty minute break to relax my brain, I meet up with my friends and don't come back to that homework until the next day. These "Alonzo breaks" have become a real problem and so today I took an actual study break from my math homework. I sat down and put my headphones in and listened to music and just blocked everything out. Around thirty minutes later I came and knocked out almost all of my math. It's amazing how just relaxing and not doing anything at all can mellow you out and help you think clearly. Not only did my break put me in a better mood, it also stopped this post from being another math rant. Breaks are great and help you focus better, I just have remember to come back to the homework.
