Finals week. Man. It sure has been a roller coaster this semester. I've had good days and bad days but, haven't we all. These last couple weeks have probably been the most stressful couple of weeks of my semester due to the fact that every single one of my teachers either has a project/paper/or speech due. In total I have a written examination for the FAA, 4 papers, 3 projects, and a speech to give. I have never had this much work due all at the same time in my life. Unlike my prior habits, I usually procrastinate things until the last minute. I started working on these projects about two weeks ago when I knew I was going to be swamped with work. I would like to talk about how stressed students get and why they sometimes commit suicide during this stressful week. Suicide is a very serious topic that all faculty and students should be aware of and try to find early signs of it especially during the most stressful week of students lives. I found a statistic online saying that there are more than 1,000 suicides per year on college campus. We as students need to know that our lives do not depend on getting an A in that one paper for the class or project. So, take a step back, take a breath, DON'T PROCRASTINATE, and get the work done.
