Finals
Dead Week
Hello readers. It’s that time of year again (and I’m not talking about Christmas). 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 [...]
Week One of Break
This year, I was an extremely lucky duck, as I had no finals during finals week. (Well, I did have some take-home finals.) I was allowed to leave campus a week earlier than most. I definitely took advantage of my two weeks of break, traveling and resting as much as possible. My first week of [...]
Sans Finals
This semester I managed to luck out to the extreme in terms of final exams. I don’t have any! Well, I don’t have any of the standard types of finals. At Hanover, some professors don’t give any finals at all. This usually is the case in an English seminar class where instead of an test, [...]
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 [...]
White Christmas
Well, here it is… my last post from Hanover College for 2011. If I blog again, it will be from good ole Illinois, and will likely be about my Christmas celebrations! I can’t believe this time is actually here. This time tomorrow I will be snuggled up at my house with my family and cats, [...]

Dead Week
If I survive this week, I might start thinking that I can run through a brick wall! The week before final exams is always a stressful one. This is the time in which projects, essays and major presentations are usually due. Everyone around campus is usually studying really hard and is sleep deprived, stressed and [...]
“Help will always be given to those who ask for it.”
Hello Harry Potter Fans! (If you weren’t aware, this title is a famous quote from the one and only Albus Dumbledore, no worries! Keep reading!) This last week at Hanover has been stressful. With midterms coming up later this week, all of my classes are at a mad dash to finish all of the material [...]
Grand Finale
Well, after a nearly five hour final exam today, the time that I dread has arrived. It is time to move out and say goodbye to all my new Hanover friends. Before my second to last class started today, I managed to pack my remaining belongings up and get everything ready for my early departure [...]
