Sarro

them
as

"The

through

to

unnecessary
stress.
In

school,
stress
is
contagious.

As tempting as that extra hour in bed may seem, making an appearance in
class will pay off in the long run, according to McCandless. "I found it a really
key part of the learning process," she says. "There could be topics or issues
that come up in class that were never mentioned in the syllabus or the as-
signed readings. It's also a lot easier to absorb the information when you talk it
through than when you just read it. I found that really helped with recall when
it came time to write exams."
