The Beginning of the End

Hello there, welcome to Hell!

…week, that is. Hell week (n): the aptly-named week of classes before finals, often filled with a flurry of final projects, essays, and exams and identified by hearty studying, too much caffeine and not enough sleep. For architecture students, those last two aspects evolve into a constant — trust me, we are old pros.

Several words of advice for Drexel students encountering this for the first or final time:

1. If the clock reads midnight and you need to perk up for just a few more hours, try brushing your teeth. Your brain will wake up slightly out of habit.

2. Work chronologically; if it’s due first, finish it first. Easy way to fight procrastination

3. Don’t waste time calculating the minimum grade you need on your final to pass the class; it will either stress you out or make you complacent

4. Have peanut butter & banana for a midnight study snack; protein, potassium, and deliciousness all at once

5. Work in intervals. For example, the Pomodoro Technique promotes 25-minute work shifts broken up by 5-minute breaks.

Happy Hell Week!
