Here at CityLibrary we think it’s important to remind all of our students and staff about the importance of self-care during the exams and assessment period. Working hard to achieve excellent results can be tough, both mentally and physically. That’s why we like to encourage everyone to #TakeABreak.
Whether you go for a walk, get some fresh air, switch off your smartphone for half an hour, or go home to get some sleep, it’s crucial to look after yourself and to find of ways of managing the stress you’ll experience as best as you can.
If you want, you can distract yourself for a while with one of our puzzling puzzles or our colourful colouring-in sheets:

This year we’re running weekly prize draws, so tweet us your artistic achievements or hand-in your completed copies at one of our Help Desks (remembering to include your name and City email) and you could win £10 print credit for your efforts.
We’d also recommend you take advantage of the range of support services and resources available to you:
- CityLibrary Wellbeing Guide
- City’s Wellbeing services, including counselling and chaplaincy
- City Student’s Union: Study Well.
And please remember: friends, colleagues, staff, there are loads of people around wanting to help you through the process as best they can; try not to let everything overwhelm you, talk to someone, get support, seek advice – you will get there in the end.
Good luck everyone.
