FINALS GUIDE MONDAY, MAY 12, 2014 + PAGE 3 LETTER FROM THE EDITOR You have successfully survived Stop Day and are well on your way to endure a week of finals, or in other words, "hell week." So congratulations, but now it's time to get to work and ace those exams. For most of us, it is the week of the semester that we dread the most. All of our hard work comes down to a few questions on an exam that we were cramming for the night before. We rely on copious amounts of coffee and Red Bull to keep us awake and focused and hope that those few hours of sleep will re-energize us for the following day. But there is a light at the end of the tunnel because in a few short, agonizing days we will be headed home for summer. For some, Lawrence will be a humble summer abode filled with hot days near Clinton Lake and cool nights spent gallivanting down Massachusetts Street. Some will return home to spend time will family and friends and others will spend those few weeks traveling the world. A few graduates from the Class of 2014 let us know what they plan to do as they face their first summer as real "grown ups." This Finals Guide will prepare you for finals with helpful tips, provide you with a study playlist for those long, tiring nights and show you how enough sleep can improve your academic performance. I wish you the best of luck on all of your finals and a great summer. Congratulations to the 2014 graduates,the freshmen who successfully finished their first year, the sophomores who will becoming upperclassmen, and my fellow juniors - see you in the fall as we take the reign as the senior class.
