Midterms

Midterms is a week of studying, snacking, and panic. Everything you've learned (or failed to learn) in the past couple months races through your head at a million miles an hour. To make it worse, SLU still has class while many other schools give students the week of midterms off. Midterms week, with all of its thoughts and ideas, is a strange form of silence, because as our minds are being crammed with knowledge, we study with our mouths shut.

According to my psychology professor, the best way to learn is to teach someone else the material. With all of the stress and imposed silence of midterms, this method of learning is going to be tried out by yours truly as much as I can, not only to break the silence, but to also attempt to lessen my friends' and my own stress.
