Well, that and the relentless torment of cold rain that seems to plague us as of late. The point is, finals are a drag.<\/p>\n<p>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.<\/p>\n<p>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.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI normally study in the ITC; when you\u2019re there you are usually around [computer science] professors if you run into a problem and need help,\u201d said Parker.<\/p>\n<p>Another student, Carliee Leach-Provancha, senior history major, said she stays in bed to study because it provides a quiet, ambient space.<\/p>\n<p>Alec Wynkoop-Roberts, junior English major, says he likes anywhere that provides a quiet and comfortable space near food.<\/p>\n<p>\u201c[Coffee shops] also usually have an assortment of baked goods to chow on,\u201d explained Wynkoop-Roberts. \u201cStudying makes me very hungry.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Keeping a snack on hand can keep your mind busy while studying. Combine your favorite snack and place for a truly divine studying experience.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI 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,\u201d said Alyssa Chiampi, a third year public policy and administration major.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cGummy bears and americanos get me through my studying times,\u201d concluded Chiampi.<\/p>\n<p>Contact the author at rjackson13@wou.edu or on Twitter @rachealyjackson<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Nothing takes the sunshine and warm vibes out of the spring air quite like finals week.
