Minimize your stress

Law school can be stressful, but there are a number of steps you can take to keep stress to a minimum. Humor is a great stress reliever. Make time for exercise carrying 100 pounds of law books every day doesnt count. Eat fruit, vegetables, and whole grain foods on a regular basis a diet Coke and a package of Ding Dongs are not a balanced breakfast. Dont overdo your caffeine intake; drink lots of water instead. Get at least seven hours of sleep per night. Maintain a life outside of law school. You dont need to give up all of the things you enjoyed doing before you went to law school; you just wont be able to do them as often. Finally, if you think that your stress level is getting out of control, talk about it with your significant other, a family member, a close friend, a faculty member, one of the law school Deans, or Professor Faulkner.
