Final Stretch

For many students, “dead week” or now known as “reading week” is one of the most stressful weeks of the entire semester. Many professors are having final projects due this week or are just finishing up the semester with a couple last minute assignments and so students have the assignments to finish as well as make sure that if they haven’t started studying for finals that they begin to do so this week. 

Dead week does not have to be stressful if students are able to plan ahead and make a schedule in order to make sure that everything is covered before it is due or before the exam. Being organized in the final few weeks of semester can help evade the stress that many students face. Make sure that you know when assignments and exams are and if all of your classes even have exams and plan your schedule accordingly. 

Final’s week is the beginning of the end for many seniors around campus as they may be graduating in December, or this is their final fall semester of their college career or the very least their undergraduate degree. Final’s week means one more semester until joining the real world and the work force. This week is almost bittersweet because we are close to being finished here at Purdue.
