… The
Princeton Review test prep company comments that
“the link between success and stress has become so strong in some students’ minds that they view stress as proof that they’re good students. They humble-brag about how late they stayed up last night writing a paper or how many hundreds of flashcards they made. The key is to shift your focus from what you’re studying to how you’re studying.“
