Sadly, another semester and year is dwindling down at the University of Texas, whether we realize it or not as we cram for our finals. Within the next two weeks we will leave our dorms empty, packing every article of this year in a box only to be shipped or put in storage, and we will watch our friends leave one by one, whether leaving means driving 3 hours to their home in Houston or flying off to the East or West coast. The past few weeks have felt so rushed with last minute assignments, projects, final tests, and donāt forget about registration for classes! Before I knew it I was looking at my planner and realized I only have one solid week left of school before my last final. I donāt know about the rest of you but finals week can be a little weird depending on your schedule. You can have a all of your tests in the beginning and be done early in the week, or if you are like me you have your final on one of the later dates leaving you a full week of no classā¦ time that is meant to be spent studying. Though I do encourage all of you collegietteās to lock your brain into your textbooks and get your study on next week, I know that you are not going to be spending every hour studying (unless you are, and in that caseā¦bless your brain!). Instead I would like for you to take some time and have some fun completing a few of the items off of my list of āThings to do before you leave for the summer!ā
