Four months ago, Isat in a classroom--my first class ofthe yearand fast-forwarded to the lastday I would spendin that class. It wasuncomfortably hotthat day, and I wore

shorts and a T-shirt.On the last day, I walked up the stairsbehind Fraser as the wind numbed myface.

We made it. Four months, 15 weeksand 73 days of class leading up to thisfinal week of exams, essays and projects.Coffee is your fuel, so we found a fewof the best deals around Lawrence tohelp you get the most caffeine for yourbuck (and when the coffee gets old, try

one of our finals week drink recipes.)For the long hours at the library, turnon our Finals Guide Spotify playlist topower you through the last 5 pages of

that psych essay. If thelibrary is packed, readup on a few alternativestudy space ideas tomaximize comfort andeffectiveness.

If you need to take amuch-needed studybreak, weve given you

a few suggestions ofNetflix documentaries that offer achange of perspective. Feel free to usethe puzzles as a tool to keep your mindsharp. Whip up a healthy new recipebefore an early final to get your brain

juices flowing.With a little strategic planning and

helpful tools, finals week doesnt haveto be dreaded. When youre backhome, sitting on the couch with hot

chocolate and a holiday cookie, youllbreathe a sigh of relief that you donthave to go through finals week again.

Until next semester, of course.

Research has proven that taking study breaksfor some physical activity can increase studentperformance. Te only problem is, who wants

to go run five miles during a study binge?Deskercising is the lazy college studentsdream. Tis kind of exercise allows us to workmuscles while staying seated. Although it isntan equivalent to a five-mile run, doing somedeskercises during your next study session willbenefit your mind and body.

ARE YOU THE HUNCHBACK OF

ANSCHUTZ LIBRARY?If youre name isnt Quasimodo and you

dont ring church bells for a living, sit upstraight. According to the Laser Spine Institute,practicing good posture while sitting canprovide better concentration, healthier jointsand easier breathing.

DONT PULL A MUSCLE

Tere are many stationary stretches you cando while seated. Interlace your hands aboveyou and stretch your torso side to side. Pullyour arms across your body, reach them tothe ceiling and tr y clasping your hands behindyour back and pulling them straight, pushingout the chest. While youre at it, get a stress balland pop each finger. Your hard-at-work fingersneed some love too.

FIND YOUR INNER PEACE

Slow neck rolls are common in yoga classes,

and for good reason. Put your chin to yourchest and swing your head back and forth fromeach shoulder four or five times. Feel extra tightfrom all that typing? Shrug your shoulders androll them backward as if you were trying tosqueeze a pencil between your shoulder blades.

GET SOME KILLER ARMS

TO GO WITH THAT KILLER GRADE

Clasp your hands in front of your body likeyoure in a church choir and try to pull yourelbows away from each other. Hold for 10seconds and repeat (take a rest in between, you

might need it). Depending on how shamelessyou feel, bicep curls can be done with a waterbottle or textbook. Choose desired weight.

REMEMBER THAT THERE ARE SIX PACKS

IN THE WORLD THAT DONT INVOLVE BEER

Clench your core for six to eight seconds andrelease as you go through old notes. If no oneis sitting across from you, try to straighten yourlegs and hold them out while you type. Legsshould be in plane with your chair seat. If thatsstill too easy, pick your legs up at a 90-degreeangle and try to hold them up with just yourbutt touching the chair. ry not to fall out ofyour chair; if you do, you will be judged.

TWERK YOUR WAY TO AN Ary clenching your butt together for eightto 10 seconds 10 times. Tis exercise is

inconspicuous to those around you and youllbe sure to feel it the next day. Another easydeskercise for your booty is for your innerthighs. Put a water bottle or textbook betweenyour thighs and squeeze them together.

KU CALVES, SAY WHAT?

Just in case you didnt get enough of a calfworkout walking to the library, there are twogreat deskercises that youll feel the burn in. Insets of 15, keep your toes on the ground andraise your heels or vice versa: try to raise yourtoes off the ground without picking up your

heels.

MUSIC

FINALS WEEK PLAYLISTWith relaxed, mellowed out tunes that possess just enough flare to keep you awake and calm, the studying should begin to take care of itself.

BUILT TO SPILL

Else

Album: Keep It Like A

Secret

Built to Spill delivers

some of the most

comforting and relaxing

music that has been

offered in alternative

music since the 1990s.

Else is a song that will keep a steady pace as you

study for your upcoming tests this finals week. Offof the 1999 album, Keep It Like A Secret, Built to

Spills sounds will be sure to fit the mood on those

late nights in your room or the library this week.

BEACH FOSSILS

Adversity

Album: What A

Pleasure

Adversity is a track

off of Beach Fossils

2011 release What A

Pleasure. With mild,

reverberating vocals

and a slight echo on the

guitar, this track is one

that will keep you in the mood, but not distract. A

well-fitted bass-line streaming along with simple,

melodically picked guitar solos makes this track a

great one for getting work done.

UNWED SAILOR

Echo Roads

Album: Little Wars

One of the more upbeat

tracks on this set of

songs, Echo Roads

will kick you into high

gear when you thinkthat you might be losing

steam. This song is an

intensely up-roaring

instrumental track, and has a great tone to it as

well. It might even put a smile on your face as you

listen to it, but it is sure to keep your spirits up

through these final days of the semester.

THE MIDDLE EAST Land

of the Bloody Unknown

Album: I Want That You Are

Always Happy

The Middle East, an

Australian band that has

been making music since

2005, is another catchy,

somewhat poppy track that has the ability to improve

a study environment. Off of the album I Want

That You Are Always Happy, Land of the Bloody

Unknown is full of the complex yet still minimal

sound that defines indie music as many people

have come to know it today.

BLINK 182

Carousel

Album: Cheshire Cat

Carousel is a Blink

182 classic from theearly days of Tom

Delonge and Mark

Hoppus continuously

growing work of music.

Off of one of their first

albums, Cheshire Cat,

the song begins with

a commonly-recognized bass solo that leads into a

well composed song with lyrics that deal with what

it is like to be a young adult. Recorded with their

original drummer, Scott Raynor, who the band had

before acquiring Travis Barker to record with the

band ever since the bands 1999 release, Enema of

the State, the song might bring back memories to

long-time Blink 182 fans, and it might also be one

that students can add to their new favorites.

PAVEMENT Gold

Soundz

Album: Crooked Rain,

Crooked Rain

Pavement is yet another

band that ruled the

1990s. Gold Soundz is

just an overall feel good

song, complete with

clear, precise vocals,

and full utilization ofinnovative alternative sounds. The song, literally,

does have a golden sound to it. Formed in 1989,

the bands sound resembles the likes of other 90s

groups such as Sonic Youth. Gold Soundz is a

recommended listen for anytime, anywhere.

Election Reform:

This fall semester, the Student Senate

successfully passed a new Elections Code

through a nearly two-month long legislative

process. Noticeable changes were made in

response to the Student Body this past

election, who expressed its strong desire forcomprehensive change.

This reform includes:

coalitions in which all purchase totals must

be submitted to the Elections Commission;

coalitions to begin forming no sooner than

eight calendar weeks before the week of the

election;

the formation of a caucus, which includesdecision of name and any bylaws for the

coalition, a Presidential and Vice Presidential

candidate caucus, as well as a caucus for a

coalition's Senatorial candidates;

to participate in these coalitions and are

encouraged to become engaged in the

process. The Elections Commission, which

had seen its power diminished in previouselections, has been restored to its position as

a regulator of the coalitions that will have

more authority to hold coalitions

students interested in applying for a seat on

the Elections Commission are encouraged to

email [email protected] for more

information.

Parking Ticket Forgiveness:

Senate Executive Staff in developing a

Parking Ticket Forgiveness Quiz. This

in exchange for paying a parking ticket. The

semester and be fully implemented starting

with the student demand for this program

and we are proud that they have adopted

this innovation in a timely manner on behalf

Potter's Lake Pavilion Renovation:

Events for the spring semester are being planned incelebration of our campuss historic Potters Lake

Pavilion. This fall semester, the Student Senate

Executive Staff has been focused on being as

financially responsible with student dollars as

possible, making a physical renovation to the

current Pavilion structure a second semesterinitiative. A future renovation to this space must be

in accordance with the Historical aesthetic

requirements of KUs campus. KU architecture and

design students will be recruited in the spring

semester to develop a plan and blueprint that willbe on file to be implemented and constructed

when deemed appropriate.

Lower Transcript Fees:

After meeting with officials at the Office of the

Registrar, we have come to understand that

reducing fees for transcripts may be a longer

process than initially anticipated. The renegotiation

of the universitys current contract with its

transcript vendor does not expire for another two

years. The vendor cost for electronically delivered,picked up, U.S. mailed, and internationally mailed

transcripts are bundled under the contract, which

makes reducing any forms of the fee during this

term difficult. The Office of the University Registrar

is audited once every two years to ensure that the

fees being charged for each transcript delivery

method are appropriate. That audit started recently

and will be ongoing into the spring semester, withfees adjusted if deemed necessary. We are still

working closely with the Office of the Registrar to

create a framework for future administrations to be

a part of the greater decision-making process and

help see this platform through its completion.

Increase Student Input in Housing:

Our initiative to increase student input within

University Housing will be gearing up this springsemester. The Executive Staff will be working with

the On-Campus Senator, who is the chair of the

Student Senate Residential Housing Board, toreform and refocus the Housing Board. Were

excited about engaging in conversation with

students living in and working for housing to help

bring their concerns to the fore. The Student

Senate Residential Housing Board has beenunderutilized by the Student Senate in the past

and we look forward to giving this board a

renewed mission and purpose.

Lock In Transfer Student Tuition Rates:

As the universitys state funding level continues to

be debated in the legislature, this platform will be

an interesting one to follow. University commit-

tees overseeing tuition policies may be forced to

examine alternative tuition models, and our

administration will be a strong advocate for trans-

fer students in this process. Much of this conversa-tion will take place in the spring semester and we

hope to engage the universitys transfer students

in this process so that their voices may be heard.

Reducing Plastic Bags:

Kansas Memorial Unions is the organization that

runs both the bookstores and KU dining, two ofthe largest utilizers of plastic bags on campus. We

have collaborated with the Unions on many

projects throughout the fall semester, and lookforward to sharing our plastic bag reduction

proposal with them in the spring. We also antici-

pate collaborating with environmentally minded

student organizations on the project to reduce the

number of plastic bags used at the university towork toward a more environmentally friendly

campus.

Improving Student Parking:

Throughout the fall semester, we have participat-

ed in KU Master Plan meetings and voiced thestudent, faculty, and staff concern about KU

parking. The last comprehensive campus master

plan for the Lawrence campus, which wascompleted in 1997, played a positive role in the

development of West Campus and in enhancing

the character of Jayhawk Blvd. This semester,

student leadership, university administrators, and

an industry leading consulting firm have beenworking to evaluate and address the projected

lifespans and maintenance of existing buildings,

needs for new and renovated research space,

classroom requirements, networking infrastruc-

ture, transportation systems, and environmental

sustainability. The geography of our campus does

not lend itself to easy parking solutions. Despite

the expensive and difficult steps needed to

improve, we believe KU Parking has been recep-tive to change and has been fully compliant with

the call for change from the Student Body, as well

as from the KU Master Plan, which we are happy to

report, has prioritized KU Parking at the top of its

list.

Prioritizing Student Health:

We've formed a great relationship with Watkins

Memorial Health Center this semester, and our

Prioritizing Student Health platform is in full

swing. We have senators and Student Health

Advisory Board members providing input for the

re-design of the Watkins first floor lobby, signage,

and marketing materials, which will provide a

fresh look for the facility. We're also planning an

event scheduled for next semester, in conjunctionwith Watkins and Student Health Advisory Board,

which will entail a day of outdoor fun, fitness,prizes and giveaways. Watkins recently hosted

Student Senate and the Student Health Advisory

Board for a walkthrough of the facility, where

Watkins and Senate personnel each had the

opportunity to converse about student health and

the continuation of our partnership for theupcoming semester and beyond.

Increase Access & Accountability within Senate:

We have focused on many structural changes thisterm to increase Student Senate transparency.

This summer, we created a new website consistentwith the university's branding. You can find any of

our Full Senate and Committee meeting minutes,

as well as voting records and any open Senate

positions, at studentsenate.ku.edu. We're current-

ly working with KU Information Technology to

create an online scheduling system so that

students and senators can schedule meetings

with any Student Senate executive staff member

online. By the end of this term, we plan tolive-stream all of our Full Senate meetings and

upload audio from all committee meetings to our

website. Follow us on Twitter (@KUSenate and

@KUPresident), on Facebook (facebook.com/KU-

StudentSenate) and on Instagram (@kusenate) to

engage in conversation and stay up-to-date on

our daily progress!

Eliminating Sales Tax on Textbooks:

With the rising cost of higher education, any type

of monetary relief is a necessity for students.Because the execution of this platform relies heav-

ily on governmental relations, this has compelled

us to strengthen Student Senates relations with

various entities within the state of Kansas like

never before. These entities include, but are not

limited to: the Kansas Board of Regents, Kansas

State House, and Senate. To ensure that this is a

statewide initiative, we have partnered with the

five other Regent universities as well as manyJunior colleges in the state of Kansas to strength-

en the argument for this platform. This initiative is

on track, and we will capitalize on our fall semester

efforts by pushing for the implementation of this

exemption in the spring semester through

student advocacy.

Between the tapping o keys on the computerand the urgent flipping o notecards, studentsmay hear the barking o dog in Watson librarytoday. From 11 a.m. until 1 p.m., Student HealthServices (SHS) will partner with Mo-Kan PetPartners to provide students an opportunityto relieve stress by relaxingwith therapy dogs.

Over the past month,SHS has provided similaropportunities across

campus to help studentsmanage stress. Accordingto Liz Kocan, a HealthEducator or SHS, studiesshow that therapy dogs helpto reduce stress. Each time the therapy dogshave visited the library, more students havedropped their books to play with the dogs.

Universities nation wide are starting to bringin therapy dogs during these stressul times,Kocan said. Its been growing. We are veryexcited about that.

Tese dogs have contributed to providing

an upbeat study environment or students-something that Shannon Livingood, a PeerHealth Education Coordinator, said is key to

studying successully.

It is important to stay positive, saidLivingood, a junior rom Clay Center.Surrounding yoursel with positive people andlanguage will help. Its important to be positiveoverall with everything you are doing.

In addition to providing therapy dogs, SHSoffer inormation to students about managingstress healthily. SHS provides activity bookswith Sudoku, origami and coloring pages orstudy breaks as well as tips on how to managestress saely.

Many o the tips encourage students toexercise, to sleep and to eat well.

Eating healthy and exercising shouldntbe put on the back burner during finals,Livingood said.

A lack o sleep and exercise can cause theimmune system to break down, ofen causingstudents to become ill. aking naps andwalking to the library, rather than driving, canhelp to prevent illness and relieve st ress.

Finals are finally here and I am sureI am not the only one stressing out.Unfortunately, the best way for me to

de-stress is to watch a movie and just takesome time to relax. However, when I do that, Isuddenly feel guilty for wasting time. Terefore,I have made a handy list of documentaries towatch, dependent on your major, so that way,when watching the documentary you can feellike you are at least learning a little somethingwhile taking the much needed break.Obviously, I cannot add every major here,but these are also documentaries that I would

argue everyone should see. So, check them outfellow procrastinators.

EDUCATION: Bully

Tis particular documentary focuses onthe story of five families struggling with theharms of bullies during their time at school.Fair warning, it is a very difficult documentaryto watch. However, as most future teacherswill probably tell you, it is just as importantfor the future educators not only to know theinformation of their subject, but also how tomake a positive impact on young students.

ENGLISH: SalingerSalinger was met with mixed reviews fromcritics, mostly because the film seemed to notadd anything new to the story of Mr. Salingerand instead focused on sensationalizing hispersonal life. However, Salinger was one of themost influential writers of all time, and it isquite interesting to see exactly where his storiescame from and how his writing affected thosearound him.

PSYCHOLOGY: The Imposter

While this might be a bit of a stretch for

psychology majors, I will say personally that I

found this documentary insanely interesting.Although, I will say, if you watch the film whilealso trying to figure out the subject and why hedid what he did (spoiler alert: he impersonatedover 500 missing children), it would probablyjust make it only more intriguing.

FILM: This Film is Not Yet Rated

A brief history of the MPAA and the majorplayers in the rating game doesnt soundinteresting, but this documentary has becomeone of my favorite films of all time. Its cool tosee how the ratings not only reflect the time

period the films come out, but also societysattitudes toward film.

ECONOMICS: Freakonomics

Based off the popular book, Freakonomicsuses statistics and other economic conceptsto explain things that happen in our society atlarge. Not only does it go over interesting thingsthat have made an impact in our society, but italso shows just how interesting economics andeconomic theory can be, as long as you put intoperspective.

Amanda Swanson, Senior

from Erie, Colo., said, "I

QUIZ MYSELFover and over

again until I can't get it

wrong. As long as it gets

me through the test, I call it

a success."

THE SQ3R READING

METHODstands for Survey,

Question, Read, Recite,

Review. To begin studying,

this method suggests

surveying the chapter by

looking at the headings

and subheadings, captions under the graphics

along with looking over the summaries. Next,

turn the information gathered from surveying

into questions. Next, read to find the answers

to your questions. Then, recite the questions

orally and take notes on the answers. Last,

review as much as possible.

Markisha McCoy, Junior from Kansas City, Kan.,

says, "It's very effective. Reading it over and

over and over helps you remember it. In a way

you are teaching yourself the material."

Cortney Wise, Sophmore

from Bonner Springs, Kan.,

said, "Depending on the

test, I will do the typical

college student move

and FILL OUT THE STUDY

GUIDE and simply review

that. However, if it's a test I'm less confident

about I might make up my own test to practice

over the material. This helps me memorize and

get more familiar. Plus putting the terms in my

own words to better understand the concepts

helps."

THE POMODORO TECHNIQUE

works with time, not

against it, and helps to

eliminate burnouts and

distractions. This simple

technique breaks studying

into sections. Study for 25

minutes then reward yourself with a five minute

break to check Instagram or Twitter. Do this

two more times and on your third five-minute

break, take a 20 minute break instead.

Journalism Professor Mike Williams says, "I

think the worst thing people do is try to cram it

all in. The trick is to use one time period to get

the concepts, the next time period for examples

and the next time period to put it all together."

The library is not the Hawk! If you dont

understand that you need to leave.

If I spent as much time studying as I did

making backup plans, Id be in med school

already.

Currently typing this to get the person reading

my phone over my shoulder to stop.

To whoever stole my biochemistry study guide

at the underground: you could have just asked

and I would have emailed it to you.

Happy Finals Week! May the odds be ever in

your favor.

To the girl who randomly paid for my lunch

today at the underground, I hope you ace your

finals :)

Home, home on the court, Where Naadir and

dunking all game.

Why would Merv Lindsay leave THE basketball

school, Kansas, who wins big rings, to sit on

Advance Your Education With A Masters Degree


I really like to

study at Watson. Its

quieter than Anschutz

generally and I get

stuff done when Im

there.

NICHOLE SEAWELL, sophomore from

Colorado Springs, Colorado

I usually go to

Anschutz because its

closer and its central

to most of my classes.

Watsons also a good

option, though.

KELLUM SCHNEIDER,

senior from Tribune, Kansas

I go to the second

floor of Anschutz. I just

went there one day and

I never stopped. Its like

a routine.

LAUREN SINIK, freshman from

Wichita, Kansas

I study in my room

because its warm and

none of my roommates

are ever there so its

quiet. I get the place

to myself and its easy

to get to.

RYAN OTT,sophomore from Neoga, Illinois

I like Prima Tazza and

Amys. They have good

coffee and nice warm

atmospheres.

KATE NYGREN, 1st year Ph.D. student from

Wichita, Kansas

I really like Watson

library. Its the most

quiet place, especially

in the stacks.
