Hello everyone!!! Here, finally is the dreaded week of….FINAL EXAMS (*lightning crash*)
What a great way to end the semester, yes? I hope everyone’s experiences with the ACE Program was fun and memorable. The ACE Bash was a lot of fun, and the turnout was nearly 200 people! The Buca di Beppo spagetthi was DELICIOUS and the games.dancing.prizes were awesome 
A little FYI tidbits to help you with studying:
CramJam – From 6 pm – 6 am everyday this entire week! You can load up on $0.75 Monster energy drinks, SUPER CHEAP subway sandwiches, snacks, sodas, and free coffee, hot cocoa, and tea way into the wee hours of the night! It’s located at campus center, right in front of the UH Bookstore entrance by Subway. Go and check it out!!
Sleep is very very VERY important. Keep all-nighters to a minimum. Your brain needs time to rest and process the information you pour into it. Even when you study, be sure to take little breaks every 30 min – 1 hour of studying. Maybe go on Facebook for A LITTLE WHILE (yeah…we all know “a little while” is impossible with Facebook!), or walk around the library…just something to relax your brain.
Both Sinclair and Hamilton libraries are open 24/7 this week, so utilize them! Sinclair library let’s you bring in food…so don’t starve yourself to death! Just the other night, I saw someone with a huge bag from CPK!!! AHHH THE TORTURE!!! Hamilton=no food allowed. So sad 
Pace yourself. Don’t cram. Yeah, no matter how many times people say this…we always end up cramming. Bleh 
Well, GOOD LUCK ON FINALS!!! Just think, in a little less than a week, this will all be over. Which leads up to my last tip…DON’T STRESS. I’ve learned this a year or so ago. Really, don’t think of this week as “do or die”. You gotta put it all into perspective. One exam is not going to ruin the rest of your life. True, it might “change” it a bit to something you weren’t expecting…but it really is just an exam. I’ve bombed exams before (8/100 on a chemistry exam..hehe)…but I’m still alive and doing ok. In fact, I’m planning on graduating next May! Woot woot! So just because you don’t do as good as you hoped…there’s always another way/path/road. Plus, Christmas is next week!!!! So don’t be getting all crazy and revamping your whole life because of one exam. It’s not worth it.
Stay focused.motivated.strong. You can do it!!!

Something fun for you to enjoy!!!
