COMMENTARY


What do you do to relieve stress during midterms?


James Kenler is a college junior:

I've been exercising. I also play Soul Calibur, or any video game that allows me to kill things.


Gardner Swan is a college senior:

Being that I am only taking three classes that are really easy, I don't have anything to stress about. So ha. I laugh and shake my ass at you.


Jake Abrams is a college sophomore:

Dance. Lift my knees high in the air.


Emily Toder is a college first-year:

I would say take a bath, except there aren't any bathtubs in the dorms. Valium.


Derek Schleelein is a college first-year:

Play computer games and pretend I don't have them.


Jeff Price is a college junior:

Can I call you tomorrow with the answer?


Claire Johns is a college first-year:

Try to prepare as much as you can then watch TV till it's over. The worst thing anyone ever said to me was "Failure to Prepare is Preparing to Fail."


Joe Bookman is a college first-year:

I wait till it's over.


Alana Kenmore and Laura Grossman are college sophomores:

We do so many weird things. We lay in bed, and make each other stay there for an hour without doing anything. Then we take turns picking songs to play for each other.


Rebecca Huber is a college first-year:
I drink lots of coffee and start studying early; I think it's a little too late or something.


Jeff Gray is a college first-year:

I guess I could do my laundry.


Vanessa Kong is a college first-year:

I think I smoke a lot.
