Finals have always been after the two-week winter break, until this year. Now, the semester will conclude and finals will be completed before winter break.

In years before, finals have always caused stress due to procrastination and basically laziness. The two week break is a time to relax, but instead has been filled with the looming thought of, ‘I should be studying’.

This year, finals are before the break which is a great idea. Now break can truly be used as a down time instead of having the constant thought of finals.

Not only are finals before break a benefit, but the semester concluding is beneficial as well.

Students will no longer have to be concerned about finishing the semester out and the break can be more calm and stress-free.

Having finals before winter break is a great idea, this will relieve stress and supply students with a relaxing break. This was a much-needed and much-appreciated change.
