Finals Week as Told by Buddy the Elf, Day 4

You finish the last final. You feel as if you've been beaten up.

Sometime in the next couple of weeks you receive your grades. You see that you got a B in the class you were sure that you flunked. Booyah!

Happy holidays!

Finals Week as Told by Buddy the Elf, Day 3

You go to sit for your first final. The instructor says, "Before we begin the exam, please turn in your paper that was assigned at the beginning of the quarter." You suddenly realize that you have no paper, because you immediately forgot about it; because, well, it was the beginning of the quarter and, after all, you had plenty of time.

To make matters worse, once you've taken the exam, and later on as you are going over in your mind your answers, you realized you flubbed a very basic question.

That evening, you reflect on you poor performance during the day's exams. Especially when you realize that you could have gone to the library and gotten help from the friendly and resourceful library staff.

Better luck tomorrow. Though we hope that you didn't have a day like this at all!

Finals Week as Told by Buddy the Elf, Day 2

Before final exams start you decide that maybe it's time to do some SERIOUS studying.

Caffeine becomes your best friend.

 

You get to the point that coffee becomes almost impossible to drink, but you struggle through it because you MUST STAY AWAKE.

Stress-eating also kicks in.

You may find yourself getting a little grouchy and your friends tread very lightly around you.

 But you persevere because you know there will be joy at the end of another successfully completed quarter.

Finals Week as Told by Buddy the Elf, Day 1

Finals week has arrived. You sit down and take a look at the schedule.

Finals Schedule 12/14-12/19 2015

Wow!

You realize how much you have to do, and you're in a state of disbelief.



You may say a little prayer.

Your professors all say that if you have studied and kept up with your work, the exam will be easy. But you know better.

You sit on a throne of lies

You're not alone. Remember, the library staff are pulling for you. We're all in this together.

No more stress. We Need Desserts.

The end of the quarter is nigh, and your Sullivan University librarians know that the end of the quarter is stressful. 

To help relieve stress and anxiety, why not take a study break and laugh a little? The librarians have selected the following books and DVDs, all of which are available at the Lexington library, so stop by the library and check out one of these or something else to take your mind off of the pending papers, projects, and presentations.
