Three weeks too long: In between breaks
(12/02/18 6:58pm)
The Student Body of UF is currently in the midst of one of the most dangerous and depressing seasons of all. No, not football season— it’s finals season. Walking around campus after returning from Thanksgiving break is like walking through the overworld of a Fallout game, with most of the population of the Gator Nation either dead or dead inside. Like busy ants scurrying around for the sake of their survival, students rush from classes to libraries, cramming for late-semester tests given by evil professors (seemingly in the hopes of lowering their scores on student evaluations) or stressing over the looming threat of finals on the not-distant-enough horizon. As if the threat of GPA homicide was insufficient in putting a damper on students’ moods, a nice additional barrage of cold fronts decide it is time to mosey on down to Gainesville and make us cold-blooded Gators regret every single comment we have made about loathing the heat. Seasonal depression on top of unbearable stress? It is truly the most wonderful time of the year!
