editor's note
This time of year is always bittersweet. On one end, the semester's end is on the horizon but first we all have to survive finals. Most people can't help but cringe when thinking of this week.
I remember my first semester in Lawrence I was introduced to finals week and I considered it great. Yes, great. I had two exams on Monday for my Mathematics 101 and Journalism 101 class and then spent Monday night watching "The Bourne Supremacy" as my roommate and fellow floor residents frantically studied for their Tuesday exams.
While my first semester was great, I can't say the same about other semesters. Almost every semester after I've had at least three exams and
one of them was on a Friday. I spent my weeknights cramming and guzzling energy drinks until I could recite just about everything I had written in my notes.
Finals week can bring on stress, but try to relax. Don't be afraid to take a few hour breaks during your studying time and enjoy life.After all, life is too short in the long run to be starring at test books for seven days straight. Good luck with exams!
