1) During exam periods, the interviewees appeared to share similar attitudes as they felt stress levels typically increasing. However, not all of them mentioned adopting a day-by-day approach to managing their studies. The library emerged as the most frequently chosen place for studying. Among those interviewed, one individual revealed viewing anxiety and stress as useful elements for enhancing focus and promoting a sense of responsibility. The oldest participant clearly conveyed that work environments generally induce much higher stress levels compared to study environments. Nevertheless, all respondents asserted that they generally maintain good studying habits.

2) Every participant reported experiencing at least one instance of health issues related to excessive studying in recent times, primarily manifesting as back and neck pain, headaches, and a general sense of fatigue.

3) All respondents acknowledged having encountered periods of intense stress at least once in their lives, particularly those currently immersed in highly competitive work or study settings. The stress was linked to the desire and pressure to excel but tended to vanish after completing the required tasks. One respondent mentioned that this kind of stress made them unproductive, and their coping mechanism involved taking a break. Another one stated, instead, that in this periods these periods their sleep is negatively affected.

4) Regarding effective studying methodologies, the feedback I received varied: some interviewees had never heard of these techniques before, others were aware of them but had not implemented them, some stated that they had tried to use them but found them ineffective, while a few individuals currently employed these methods on a daily basis.

5) When questioned about the features they would desire in a library, many individuals seemed unable to come up with specific ideas - indicating that libraries are often perceived as requiring nothing more than a functional desk and chair. However, some of them mentioned various kind of entertaining facilities like a caffè or table tennis courts, where people would spend their quick breaks at. No one mentioned spaces related to physical activity or meditation/relax.

6) The majority of respondents claimed that they could maintain a positive work-life balance, experiencing only minor challenges during periods of intense stress. However, one interviewee, who participates in competitive sports dancing, expressed that the only way to juggle their social life, work, and sport simultaneously is by sacrificing some sleep.
