Finals Week is Here!

It’s hard to believe but another year is quickly coming to an end here on campus at Black Hills State University! Students are busy finishing projects and cramming for finals before setting off into the real world OR perhaps a great summer job, internship or an epic road trip. Whatever the case, finals week is the last hurdle to get over before the semester is officially over and students are free to do as they wish, and that time is definitely upon our students here at BHSU.

Believe it or not, I actually have very fond memories of finals week as a student. How can final exams, stressful late night studying and the occasional meltdown be viewed as fond memories you ask…?

Well for one thing, classes are officially OVER during the week of finals. All you really have to do is prepare for your exams and show up for the tests. That’s easy.
Second, it’s a general rule that staff and faculty on campus feel bad for stressed out students during finals week so they do their best to provide food and entertainment for students. Everything from late night breakfast to special soup lunches and pizza in the library are provided to students to help ease the pain of studying. It’s awesome.

Lastly, once you are all done with your final exams the year is finished and you can pat yourself on the back for another year done!

Spending time studying with your friends in the beautiful weather, munching on good food and counting the hours down to summer isn’t such a bad thing, right?!
