Hard work will get me through, my voice tells me. I will get by. I will survive. I need to turn up my stereo. These are the days when the boundlessly optimistic students of sunny September days become the zombies of November's academic rains.
Demands pile up.
Fall finals, compared with other quarters, offer extra stresses for students. It's a time of taking stock, but it's not just a pure academic situation. There are a lot of other things that complicate a student's life. There are so many expectations surrounding the holiday season. And sometimes your hopes and dreams don't come true.
