Why Study-Dates Are The Best Things

Do studying/ working, and meeting friends always have to be two oppositional pursuits? Turns out you can combine them, by having a study date. It reduces the guilt of not working, and it curbs your frustration of being isolated. Here are some of the reasons, study dates are the best things!

Immense Focus

You will be surprised at how true this is! Somehow being with a friend and working together makes you study more efficiently, and remain motivated. After all, you know that in some time you can have a break where you can chat and catch up. The best way to handle this is to study in bits and then take timely breaks. This way you will not feel guilty about not working. Yet you guys are spending quality time together!

You are not alone

Studying for an exam or engaging in higher studies can be extremely isolating at times. However, having study dates with friends helps to convince you that you are not alone. You tend to work together, and if you get frustrated, then you at least have some kind of motivation to continue. You don’t brood or feel bad, just crib. Though this may sound like a negative thing, it lets out your frustration. Therefore even if you are miserable, you have company. And company always makes things better!

Discussing with friends can be fruitful

This is one of the most beneficial things about working with friends. Sometimes your work can be overwhelming and confusing and may seem like a lot. However, discussing with your friends what you are working on can be extremely fruitful, as it may lead to clarity of ideas, and new perspectives regarding what you are thinking. They may also ask you fresh questions, which may help you think differently, and also give you interesting insights about your work. Peer discussion and learning are immensely helpful and beneficial.

Stress is curbed

Somehow, working together helps you to remain calm and you can be constructive as you have something to pull yourself away from the work that you are doing. This prevents burnout and is very essential!

Food and coffee

One of the most fun things about study dates is that you will inevitably end up ordering food that is comfort-oriented. If you are working in a café, or at home, good food is always on the list. This makes the study date even more fun!
