As finals approach, students check their dwindling bank accounts to find they burned all of their dining dollars on Sushic, Chick-Fil-A and Starbucks. Those who spent it all said they wished they had saved properly throughout the semester after realizing they had nothing left. Now with a minimal budget, they seek creative ways to spend their money on food.

As finals loom larger by the day and each study session becomes more essential, spiritual life leaders say staying grounded in faith means choosing presence over panic.

During the stressful study sessions of Study Day, student government is bringing a new treat to students: discounts at Starbucks in the Baylor Sciences Building and the Moody Memorial Library. The discount will be $2 off any drink purchased on Dec. 11.

Finals make up a large portion of students’ grades. Therefore, most students spend hours on end studying for these exams. With just one day to study for multiple exams, students aren’t getting the appropriate amount of time to perform well. Students should be given a week to study prior to finals week like other universities.

Gosh, I hate finals, but who likes them?

As the last couple days of classes end, Baylor students near the dreaded finals period. It seems that I always get stuck with a final on the last day of finals, so I watch as the campus slowly becomes a ghost town. It is the loneliest feeling in the world waking up on that last gray, cold morning and driving to that last final.
