"When stressed before a test, you should turn your attention to your breathing. Taking deep breaths can control your stress level and fight the "fight or flight" instinct." ~ Coursera: Learning How to Learn

When not to meditate = really just excuses about ideal times:

• Issue about sleep ~ meditating right after waking up from an alarm or right before bed--when I'd rather just sleep
• It doesn't matter, "Which is better for your mind: nine hours of sleep or eight hours of sleep and an hour of meditation?"
• Not meditating consistantly would be worse than meditating at the "worst time" ~ anyway bandwagon ahoy
• Issue with meditating after meals ~ shouldn't be done, but
• So what, it's a hell of a lot better than not.
• And can't meditate in the academic buildings after classes

All that time in between. Sure, classes last an hour, and it takes about 20 min to walk back and forth; in the end--just excuses.
