Students talk about finals stress

Finals week begins Monday, May 12, and students are starting their last minute cramming for all of their tests.

Although it is a hard time of the semester, the students I spoke with felt that their finals would come out successful.

“Finals shouldn’t be too bad,” John Hagert, a sophomore reclamation major, said. “Only one out of three of my finals include material from the whole semester.”

Some students felt the ease of the test depended upon how much they enjoyed the class.

Nicole Lenz, a junior english literature major, said that she likes her class classical mythology and believes that the final for it will be easy

“Physical Geology, on the other hand … well that is another story.”

Students will be finishing reading their chapters and doing their last assignments to get ready for the end of the semester.

Joshua Tipton, a freshman building construction management major, said that he is preparing for the finals a couple of different ways.

“I am going to be studying a lot and going to as many study sessions as I possibly can,” Tipton said. Tipton also said that he will feel comfortable and prepared.

Along with these study methods, Lenz said that she will also be taking part in discussions with people that share the same classes as her.

Laura Morgenson, a senior criminal justice major, said that she is not too worried about her finals.

When asked about the stress that finals are giving her, Morgenson said, “I could care less; they’ll be easy.”
