Finals Time

The end of the fall semester always feels extremely brief, particularly this year since Thanksgiving happened so late into November. As the stress of finals  approaches, students find themselves increasingly longing for the comforts of home from showering without shoes to home cooked meals. This is especially true after  everyone's' Thanksgiving meals. However, this does have the adverse effect of making Chase and Emerson food seem a lot worse in comparison. Taken  with the stress of finals, at this time of the year many students either eat drastically less than they should or start buying more food than usual. My roommate personally has bought 3 bags of chips to eat while studying for the next few days.I think this stretch of limited food options, does have a negative effect on student morale. That's probably the reason why the whoopee pie truck was met with so much excitement last Tuesday and why it was located outside the library to help combat the stress of studying.
