Study Stress? Create a profile to cope!
Study Stress Profiles
We are continuing on this month’s theme of study stress with a new activity: creating your Study Stress Profile!
The last few months of the year can be a busy time for high school and uni students. With exams and assessments picking up in the coming months, our community holds a lot of knowledge about coping with study stress!
This activity will involve creating your study stress profile; a tool for how you cope with study in stressful times of the term/semester/trimester!
Let's make a study stress profile!

Tell us a little bit about your studies
I am studying for a Bachelor in Counselling. I am currently in my second out of 3 years of the degree and I am really enjoying it! I've learned so much about other people, why and how others think and even more about myself and how I relate to others. My perception and understanding on mental health and how to relate to others has increased so much.
What do you enjoy about your studies?
I enjoy learning about different theorists and different counseling modalities. I also enjoy the social aspect, meeting like-minded individuals and creating great friendships.
What are the signs that you are stressed from studying/experiencing study stress?
I get very teary. Easily upset and talk non-stop about assignments because I can't switch off my brain about what is stressing me.
What are your top study stress busters/coping strategies?
Going outside
Art
Journalling
Seeing a friend for a walk
Talking things out with my partner
Set a goal for managing study stress!
My goal for this trimester is to prioritize self-care. Know that I can not spread myself so thin and please everyone, do everything and still expect to achieve the marks of my (very high) standards. Self-care, self-care, self-care!!!!
