Week 10

Welcome to November readers!
And the countdown begins till our thanksgiving break. It is around that time for most classes to give their second exams. So I recommend all readers prepare themselves! The University offers plenty of opportunities for those who wish to excel in their exams. Many students are very busy throughout the day and we choose to do our work in the evening till well into night. At times it becomes difficult for students to study in their rooms because honestly speaking our beds have a tendency of calling us after long days. An alternative would be to go study at the library. The library is open till about midnight in which case many students go home at that time. However, if you need to continue studying or doing work Bookworms (the library coffee house) is open 24 hours and becomes a quite place later in the night.
Along with the hours available the library offers tutoring for those of you who need it. They help you in anything from calculus to anthropology papers. The Q center is available for mostly scientific and mathematical assistance. A student simply goes and signs in to meet with a tutor. They are undergraduates as well and try and help in anything they can. When it comes to writing the W center is where to go. The W center offers students with extensive training to help edit papers. They assist you in organizing your ideas, brain storming, and producing a successful paper to present. I highly recommend that students take advantage of all of these resources that the University provides for us.
Finally, exam and paper season can get very stressful. The final resource that the University offers that can truly help out in this time is the counseling and mental health services. Although it sounds like something that many students would quickly say “no thanks” you need to open your mind. It is an opportunity to assist you in staying sane during these difficult times. They offer suggestions on how to de-stress yourself along with workshops. They even offer people you can talk to in case you truly feel overwhelmed. Everything said is kept confidential and is provided for students to vent.
So I wish you all a successful exam and paper season and remember thanksgiving is right around the corner.
