The semester is almost over! Before we get to enter into that marvelous light, we have to go through the often dreaded darkness that looms, known as final exams. Now, often when one thinks about exams—or any type of testing for that matter—anxiety can rush in and overwhelm us. I may have one solution though that can ease the stress of final exams. According to an article in Scientific American Mind, “many studies show that the clothes you wear can affect your mental and physical performance.” What you choose to wear on exam day is pretty important, so listen up!
For some, when they think of dressing to impress, that means pulling out that three piece suit or dazzling little black dress. However, everyone’s idea of dressing to impress is different. So, as we head into final exams, here is one key factor to consider as you pick out your exam outfit.
Whatever your version of dressing to impress is, you know what is best for you. What is most important is that you are comfortable. You need to know if your style is semi-formal or streetwear and adjust accordingly.
Once you’re comfortable with what you are going to wear, you’ve done the necessary work to place yourself in a positive mindset, and you’ve done the studying required, you will be able to test well.
A little disclaimer, it may seem ironic to spend the time you could be studying thinking about what you’re going to wear. Think about it this way, placing importance on what you’re going to wear is another aspect of studying that will benefit you in the long run and help you get that grade you deserve.
After all that, you may finally enjoy the long awaited holiday break.
Remember, collegiettes, dress well so you can test well, and be able to rest well.
You’ve made it this far, keep going because you’re almost there. Good luck!
