EXCERPT

Read this since studying is overrated
BY DAVID JAKIELO

Finals are here and odds are that you have the urge to stab a fellow student in the eye with a No. 2 pencil. This is generally the mood a person is in when he or she are stressed out, tired and suffer from serious procrastination habits to the point where he or she is reading this column.

First, let me state the obvious. This really is a miserable time. Teachers are miserable because they read our teacher evaluations and are none too pleased with the majority of them being death threats. Students are miserable because others are trying to attack them with No. 2 pencils. The university is miserable because after finals, for a whole month, no one will be around for them to overcharge. And I am miserable because people always mistake me in public for Tom Cruise.
