Students find ways to deal
with pre-final stress
By

Christina Petrini, a junior psychology major,
knows the meaning of cramming. As the time for
finals draws near, she feels the pressure increas
ing. and along with pressure comes the stress all
students dread each semester.
“Finals are stressful for me because my grades
are always borderline,” Petrini said.
Knowing they cannot avoid finals, students
must learn to cope with the stress of having four or
five major tests in a row.
According to an article in the May 1997 issue
of the Journal of Continuing Medical Education,
Dr. David Posen said stress can be relieved in a
variety of ways, including
regular exercise.
