Nothing takes the sunshine and warm vibes out of the spring air quite like finals week. Well, that and the relentless torment of cold rain that seems to plague us as of late. The point is, finals are a drag.
As much as they suck, you have to dig in and try to get through. For most students, this means studying for hours, a tedious task by any measure.
Some students, like Tanner Parker, senior computer science major, like to study in places that provide a place they can easily ask a professor for guidance.
“I normally study in the ITC; when you’re there you are usually around [computer science] professors if you run into a problem and need help,” said Parker.
Another student, Carliee Leach-Provancha, senior history major, said she stays in bed to study because it provides a quiet, ambient space.
Alec Wynkoop-Roberts, junior English major, says he likes anywhere that provides a quiet and comfortable space near food.
“[Coffee shops] also usually have an assortment of baked goods to chow on,” explained Wynkoop-Roberts. “Studying makes me very hungry.”
Keeping a snack on hand can keep your mind busy while studying. Combine your favorite snack and place for a truly divine studying experience.
“I study at the library on the second or third floor or the WUC. I like it quiet, sometimes silent. I have to have my headphones playing an array of music from Childish Gambino to Tegan and Sara,” said Alyssa Chiampi, a third year public policy and administration major.
“Gummy bears and americanos get me through my studying times,” concluded Chiampi.
