Finals
Everyday as finals get closer and closer I can tell that people are getting extremely stressed out. Since it is junior year our grades our very important, because of that fact many New Trier students are feeling the full weight of our semester exams on their shoulders. Never before have I seen the library so packed every period of the day. It is interesting to see kids who normally just go to the scrounge or play four square during their free period actually studying. The problem is that some kids are taking their stress and frustration from finals too far. On several occasions I have witnessed students snap on one another due to that stress. I understand that our finals are important, but I am trying hard not to let the stress get to me. I just hope that everyone will take a second to catch their breath and remember that it is ok to take a break every once in a while.

Relaxation is key, and I think the kids that were usually playing four square are so wound up, because they usually spend their free periods on break rather than studying. So now they are behind in the game and think that finals will help boost their grades, but finals will rarely be a grade booster. Study a little bit during your free period and your that much ahead of the curve, and less stressed out once finals roll around again.
