Dec. 09, 2016 - A Tulane student was found smiling during dead week. When questioned, the student told Odyssey, "Oh, [censored], finals are next week?"

An inside source tells us that the student had been excited all week about winter break. "No one had the heart to tell her that we still had a [censored] storm before going home and being able to eat real food," the source said. "It seemed like she'd find out sooner or later anyway."

Although the student burst into tears immediately after finding out she wasn't going to be able to party over the weekend, she serves as an example of how to live through the massive amount of long tests. Tulane offers many ways to relieve stress while studying, but the best way to be happy during this trying time is to deny that the exams exist.
