Finals Week As Told By "Friends"
Diamondback News

Before finals even begin, you know there's no way you're making it out of a course alive, so you decide to take the L and withdraw

As if final exams themselves aren't bad enough, your teacher also assigns a final project and essay

You get your exam schedule and your first exam is at 7:45am

Your friends ask what your studying plans are

Then, your teacher passes out her study guide and you have never seen half of the material before

You planned to stay up all night and study, but next thing you know, you wake up at 9:00am with papers sprawled all over your bed


Your friends ask if you can help explain the material to them, as if you're the source of all knowledge

Your parents call to check in and see how studying is coming along

After half an hour of studying you decide you deserve a break

It's finally exam day and you give yourself a pep talk before you head into the exam room

You get your exam grade back and it doesn't represent all of the energy and tears you put into studying

Or, when you manage to get that A

After all factors have been calculated your final course grade is an 89.95 and your teacher won’t round up


But now finals are over and you won't have to open up another book for a month

And you finally get to go home for break!!!

Nobody deserves to be living in poverty.

Raising the minimum wage to a livable wage would not only benefit workers and their families, it would also have positive impacts on the economy and society. Studies have shown that by increasing the minimum wage, poverty and inequality can be reduced by enabling workers to meet their basic needs and reducing income disparities.

I come from a low-income family. A family, like many others in the United States, which has lived paycheck to paycheck. My family and other families in my community have been trying to make ends meet by living on the minimum wage. We are proof that it doesn't work.

For many undergraduates across the nation, the home stretch has begun. Only one more semester remains in our undergraduate career. Oh, the places we will go! For the majority of college seniors, this is simultaneously the best and worst year out of the past four and here’s why.

1. The classes you are taking are actually difficult.

A schedule full of easy pottery throwing and film courses is merely a myth on the average campus. With all of those prerequisites for the upper-level courses and the never-ending battle you fight each year during registration for limited class seats, senior year brings with it the ability to register for the final courses you need to fulfill your major. Yet, these are not the easy entry level courses. These are the comprehensive, end of major, capstone courses designed to apply the knowledge from all your previous courses, usually in the form of an extensive research paper or engaged learning project. The upside is you actually probably really enjoy these classes but alas there is no room for slackers here.
