It is no secret midterms week is nothing short of brutal.
Soon, students will trade in fun Thursday nights at Tigerland for flashcard-filled nights in Middleton Library.
Not much can relax a stressed out student trying to increase their grade a few extra points to reach the coveted “plus/minus” threshold.
Throughout bookstores and coffee shops, students put on their headphones and try to zone in on the daunting world of textbooks and diagrams.
