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.

Even though the quality of the robots isn’t perfect — like humans — the idea behind bringing Starship robots to campus is to provide a convenient and efficient food delivery option for students and the broader campus community.

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.

As finals approach, Baylor’s Graduate School is encouraging students to slow down, reflect and reset through its upcoming Wellness Wednesday workshop, “Ending Well: Reflect & Recharge.”

A study noted that burnout had a positive association with maladaptive coping strategies such as social withdrawal. Meanwhile, students with adaptive coping strategies, including social support, reported lower levels of emotional exhaustion and higher levels of academic efficacy.

From strategic time management to tapping into campus resources like the Success Center and free tutoring, students have tools to help them finish the semester strong without burning out.

As the semester winds to a close, the energy on Baylor’s campus shifts from the excitement of holiday plans to the looming pressure of final exams.

With summer rapidly approaching and finals on the horizon, preparation for residence hall move-out has begun. The Campus Living and Learning team has provided guidelines for students moving out of on-campus residence halls in the upcoming weeks.

From requesting to change a final exam time to going to the Success Center, there are a variety of options for students to prepare for finals week.

Saturday exams should not be allowed. The weekend is meant for rest and relaxation, not taking the most important test of the semester.

Exams take less time to prepare for and make more sense for a college student’s schedule. For me, exams show their superiority.

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.
