Midterm season tends to be one of the most stressful times for University of Connecticut students. To get through this, students tend to follow a variety of different methods to persist, though some of these aren’t as successful as others. This week, we ask writers for the Opinion section: What’s the worst strategy for getting through midterm season?
Nell Srinath, Opinion Editor: Probably going on a 10-day, bacchanalian overseas vacation in the middle of the semester. That’ll do some damage.
Dan Stark, Associate Opinion Editor: Totally not speaking from experience, but combining melatonin and Diet Coke is a great way to pull a productive all nighter to get all your studying done.
Tomas Hinckley, Weekly Columnist: People are always like “oh, you need to listen to your body” and “your body tells you what you need to do to be healthy.” Just don’t. Super easy.
On an unrelated note, I’ve just had this migraine for like a week that’s really annoying me, idk what’s up with that.
Luke Feeney, Weekly Columnist: All you need to do for midterm week is sit back, take a nice deep breath and give up. You were probably going to fail that test anyways, so watch “Game of Thrones” instead. You can know nothing just like Jon Snow!
