For many students, u dead days” double as vacation time

With the end of the semester fast
approaching, there is one thing on many
students’ minds: final exams. Only a few
class days remain, and following them are
“dead days,” which can be enjoyable as a
small break from studying,
“Dead days seem more like an opportu
nity to have the fun that you have been
missing out on all semester, rather than
more time to study,” said Claire Brown, a
senior English major. “I usually like to
go to the (Student Recreation Center)
or go running. The extra workouts
relieve the stress and make me feel bet
ter after eating all those care packages.
Dead days are the ideal — college life
without class.”
Perhaps this is a point that many
students miss, because most face inten
sive work during the three days. But
dead days can serve as a “pre-holiday”
before final exams and the winter break.
“I go Christmas shopping because it
gives me a break from the monotony of
studying,” said Janet Walther. a junior
English major.
Dead days can be productive for non-
academic work as well as studying.
“1 sometimes take a trip to Houston or
Austin to watch an independent film, since
they don’t often come to College Station,”
said Dan Steele, a sophomore English major.
But what of those students who cannot
take such liberties during the precious
study time? Kristi Coufal, who recently
graduated in May with a bachelor's(fes
in psychology, offered tier own stud)i*
tine for a better pace during deadda\>
"Although 1 did most of my studyim
home or at work, occasionally
to Sweet Eugene’s to get acupoflu
chocolate and have a change of see®
Coufal said. “1 personally didn’tfeelcai
fortable studying in the library becau*
the intense atmosphere. You could feel
stress of everyone there cramming
their finals. You couldn’t talkormab
noises — the only sounds youct;
hear were the turning of
pages."
Coufal recommends that state
tudy in a place where they cantda
like at home, where you can
break to watch TV, talk to your rat
mate or do other things in between#
ing."
Coufal stressed the importance
pacing oneself.
“I would not study for prolong
periods of time without taking:
break and ‘rewarding’ myself
