Finals week is just around the corner here at the University of Iowa. This means that students are probably spending 8 hours a day getting reacquainted with class books they most likely haven't touched since they bought them in January. Of course some are just simply stressing out about how they are going to manage all the things that need to be done in the next two weeks. I know I am one of those people. But if you ever get a chance to take a break (and it's highly recommended by teachers, doctors, and anyone that's human), here are a couple of events that will help take some of that stress (literally in one case) off your shoulders.
First up, CAB is sponsoring a free massage chair area located at the Chalk Talk Lounge on the ground floor of the IMU. It will be held from May 6th to the 8th from 9 p.m. to midnight. So if you got the time, and you think sitting in a massage chair will help you pass that Calculus and Matrix Algebra for Business exam (it just sounds difficult) then stop on by and help yourself.
At the start of finals week the First Baptist Church will open up its doors and offer free pizza to students. From May 12th to the 13th from 9:30 p.m. to midnight stop on by and enjoy some free pizza. Who knows it may be the only chance you get at free pizza for another 5 months.
Of course if you'd rather pass on the free massage and pizza there's always Hawkeye athletics. The baseball team is closing up the regular season at home against Ohio State in a four-game series starting Thursday, May 15th at 6:00 p.m. Remember all students get in free with their IDs.
Finally, this is the most important part (if you're like me and need to do really well on a final just to pass a class). The library will be open 24 hours a day during finals week. This means that instead of only being able to cram until 2 in the morning 3 days before your final you could potentially spend the next three days in the library and nobody would care. Although an occassional nap is recommended if you are actually planning on partaking in that particular journey.
So just remember that finals week doesn't have to be about studying nonstop. Take a break once in a while and relax and check out some of the free events going on around campus. And good luck to all in these last two weeks.
