Midterms at Creighton are definitely worse than finals. During finals week, we aren’t forced to attend classes. In fact, finals week is better than midterms because we can hole ourselves up in the library or wherever we study and not leave unless we have a test.
A week of tests is horrendous, to say the very least, and always manages to make me look like Yzma from "Emporer’s New Groove." To get through the week, I have compiled a list of motivational quotes to light a fire under my behind and keep me focused.

-Nelson Mandela

-Samuel Beckett
3. “Better days are coming. They’re called: Saturday and Sunday.”
4. “If you work really hard and you’re kind, amazing things will happen.”
-Conan O’Brien
5. “What you seek is seeking you.”
-Rumi
6. “Believe you can and you’re halfway there.”
7. “Nothing is impossible. The word itself says I’m possible.”
