Dead Week
Tandem-ing
Bum, bum, bummmmmm (Cue ominous music here)! Dead Week has officially arrived on Hanover’s campus. Students are scurrying from class to the library, their backpacks laden with books and laptops. Most students, like myself, are just glad Monday, Dec. 3 is complete! Most of my big exams and projects are now out of the way; [...]
Semi-formal, pre-Dead Week and my first all-American Thanksgiving!
I know you’ve been hearing loads about Dead Week, which starts today, and that dreadful finals week! But I’m going to lighten up the mood a little. My sorority just had its semi-formal this past weekend, and what other way to relieve some stress than to dress up classy and have a good time with [...]
Pre-Dead Week
Dead Week is a common topic for students this time of year, and with only a few days left until that fateful week dawns, the stress is setting in for a lot of people. Dead Week, which is the week before finals week, is usually mistaken by freshmen to be a week where nothing happens. [...]
Bittersweet finals week
Finals week is a bittersweet experience. You love it because it’s the end of the semester, you get to hopefully get off campus for a bit, and you are another step closer to that graduation day. On the other end, you hate it. You hate having to cram a semester’s worth of information into your [...]
Tips for Surviving Dead Week
Oh, Thanksgiving break — the tryptophan tease — how I will miss you. College students love turkey break because they get to spend time with loved ones and escape the stresses of school, at least for five days. I think the true purpose of Thanksgiving break is for students to load up on grub to [...]
Dead Week

Finals week is approaching, which means students are studying, losing sleep and stressing over the final weeks of school. At Hanover, there is a week we call Dead Week. Our beautiful campus usually bustles with students, but during this week, you [...]
This, too, shall pass
Now that the excitement of Homecoming and Halloween has passed, I have found it is quite easy to fall into a slump of not really wanting to do much. After all the activity of last weekend, it just seems natural to want to have a lazy week. But life goes on, and you will always [...]
Saying Goodbye to Winter 2012
Today was the final day of classes, meaning it was time to say goodbye to my Winter 2012 semester. I can honestly say that I will miss some of my classes and, I am indifferent about losing others. But as a celebration for our last day of class, my History360 professor brought in fresh melon [...]
Staying Alive During Dead Week
During Dead and Finals Weeks there are a lot of stressed out folks on this campus. It’s insanely easy to get overwhelmed. There are tests to study for, papers to write, presentations to give, plus, you have to find time to eat, sleep and occasionally talk to someone other than yourself. Oh yeah, and you [...]
Paper Palooza
It’s almost the end of Dead Week. Almost. It’s nowhere near the end of the semester. Okay, so in reality, it is almost the end of the semester. It will end in officially one week. What stands in my way? Two take-home finals, one oral final, and two large paper assignments. The take home exams [...]
