Editor's Note
Finals week is finally here, fellow Jayhawks. I can't believe that the semester is almost near an end. Before we know it summer vacation will be here and this makes me very happy. But there is one little thing standing in the way of anyone laying next to a pool. Finals week.
I really don't like tests. I'm terrible at them. Every time finals week approaches I start having nightmares that I miss my test. Recently I had a dream that I slept through my alarm and completely missed my test. I kept waking up every hour to check my alarm.
In real life I always go to my finals but they freak me out. Once the exam is placed in front of me at my little desk I panic. Everything I have studied for flies out of my mind. Multiple choice tests are the worst.
There are so many choices. A, B, C or D: all of the above. Even if I know the answer I always second guess myself. This time around I plan on staying calm on my finals. Panicking makes the test taking experience worse.
If you haven't started studying for finals yet I suggest you get on it. If you don't like studying by yourself teaming up with
classmates is a good idea. If you are missing information from your notes other students typically have notes that are helpful.
Try not to stress out over studying. Staying up all night may be good for some folks but getting plenty of sleep is the best solution. To learn more about pulling all nighters check out Victoria Pitcher's story on page 10.
Remember to get lots of sleep and study hard. Once the last test is taken school will be out for summer and we can all take a much needed break. Good luck on your finals and may the odds be ever in your favor.
