Finals time is the most stressful time of most college students semesters. Countless hours are spent studying, but that is only part of it. Student Aaron-Joshua Crocker knows that studying is only half the battle during this time. "You have final projects, and sometimes you have end of semester papers and tests in certain classes so I think it is a very stressful time for everybody regardless of how many exams you have." Students not only have to make time for test studying but also for making sure that those projects and other tasks get done.
