In just a few short days, the entire Le Moyne community will go from the usually cool, calm and collected students living the jesuit dream, to psycho maniacs straight out of Pandora’s box, running around throwing textbooks in the air. Finals week is back again to ruin everyone’s lives, sanity and transcripts. Freshmen will finally discover where the library is located on campus, seniors will pump their bodies with every last drop of coffee in hopes of passing that one last philosophy class and professors will laugh in glee as they practice writing giant red F’s on every scrap of paper that comes their way.
Most students agree, finals week is the worst week of the semester. Very few students enjoy the long nights in the library, making up for the entire semester’s worth of reading in one day or digging through their desks and book bags for a sharpened No. 2 pencil. Sure, coffee, SparkNotes and getting enough sleep will all help make finals go a little smoother… But there’s only one way to keep work from stressing you out entirely – not doing it.
