Spring Break
A to Z of Finals Week
Issue date: 11/20/08 Section: PS
A - Alcohol
Let's face it - by the end of the week, everyone is going to want a drink. Some might wait until Thursday or Friday, but the lucky few who are done with finals early in the week will probably hit the bars to relieve some stress and make sure they part ways with the Maryville night life properly before leaving for a month.
B - Brain aches
With finals comes studying, and with studying comes total brain aches. Similar to a headache, brain aches are the direct result of countless hours spent with notes, books and other materials needed to study. Unfortunately, these aches aren't typically cured until the end of the week.
C - Coffee
Java City will be the most popular place on campus during finals week. Students will be all jacked up on caffeine and will probably crash hard-core at the end of the week.
D - Dread
Honestly, who looks forward to this week? It's a campus-wide feeling of dread as the week inches closer. We all know it's coming, and unfortunately, it's right around the corner.
E - Early 7:30 finals
I don't know who thought starting finals at 7:30 a.m. was a good idea, but they were terribly mistaken. Make sure you at least get a couple hours of sleep the night before if you are one of the chosen few with an early test.
F - Friday
The end of the week has never looked so good. Friday brings two great things: the end of the awful tests, and the beginning of a month-long break from school. Amazing.
G - Grumpy
After countless hours of studying, loads of caffeine and very few hours of sleep, you're bound to be a little on edge and grumpy. Spend the first week of break catching up on sleep so you're in a better mood and can enjoy the time off.
H - Help!
Having trouble in a class? Head to the TDC where they can set you up with someone who will help get you on the right path just in time for the big tests.
I - Ice Cream
Who doesn't love ice cream? It's comforting when you're stressed, not to mention it's a quick and
