Finals are finally over for me! Today is the last day for everyone, but my last one was last night. Finals can be some of the most dreaded, grueling, tiring weeks of ones life. You are expected to remember things you have learned throughout the semester and tie them all into a paper or test. Luckily, not all finals are cumulative, so sometimes you just have to remember what you have learned 2-3 weeks ago, but even that can be hard sometimes. I love the professors who give out assignments/tests early so you don't have to actually do them during finals week and can start your vacation early.

There is one great thing about finals though, that's the feeling of relief you get when you finish your last one. After I finished last night at 8:00PM, I calmly turned in my test, put on my coat, walked out of the building, and proceeded to scream the most joyous, stress-relieving, celebratory scream of life, right there on the West Bank. I got a few looks, but apparently they must not have been done with finals yet or they would have been doing the same thing.

Break in college is much longer than it is in high school, we get about 4 full weeks, just about a month, I am looking forward to it. Towards the end, I will probably be ready for the hustle and bustle to start up again but right now, I am ready to take it easy. I still have to work on campus and have a long list of things to get done over break, but I plan to travel to Atlanta for a national conference with the Impact Movement ( a student group here at the U) and also to Alabama and visit some family I have not seen foe about 13 years. It will be great!

Well, check back next month to hear about all the crazy adventures of winter break. I wish you all happy holidays and until next time, Be EZ!
