Well, we all know how terrible and stressful dead week can be. So this week I decided to treat the matter more lightheartedly. As this is my freshman year, just the jump in difficulty from my fall finals to my spring finals has been huge. However, I try not to let that discourage me as I move on to my three more years to come at the University. So, without further ado, here are some of thoughts/actions throughout dead week.

1. Friend on the group chat: Who wants Dutch?

Me:

2. Realizing you spent the term not soaking anything in and feeling all the regret:
