EDITOR'S NOTE
This week, I'm taking final exams for the last time. They're my final finals. After three and a half years at the University and another misguided year at Arizona State, I'm finally graduating.
I know it sounds crazy, but Finals Week is my easiest week of the semester. Without class and work, I can finally focus on the studying I've been neglecting for months. It's the only time of year when I drink coffee, and the only time I feel like a good student. You, too, can enjoy Finals Week zen. Just use my mantra: "It's only a test."
Finals Week alway makes me wonder if I did everything I could have. The looming end of my college career compounds that nagging doubt. Have I made the most of my time here?
In August, I made a KU bucket list. See a comedian perform live: check (Aziz Ansart). Write a Morning Brew column for The Kansan: check.
I took pictures with my friends on Kivisto Field when Kansas beat Georgia Tech. I saw Cole Aldrich and Nick Collison play against LeBron James. And, after multiple trips to the bustling metropolis of Medicine Lodge, I finally mastered highway driving (a little late, I know). I scored free concert tickets, attended my first

"lucky Christmas sweater" event, and lost my camera at least five times.
I still haven't been to The Bull or joined a basketball camping group or seen the KU Bar Band play, but I have a few months left in Lawrence.
So don't freak out. All you can do is roll up your sleeves, get to work, and hope for the best. Go learn and create and have a blast. Hurry. Every second counts.
If you get to the end of your time at the University and you miss it as much as I do, you'll know you did it right.
