It is upon us; the dreaded finals week begins December 3rd.

OSUotr is here to help. All this week there will be features on tips to help you, the common college student, pass the test and make the grades. These tips are intended to be helpful and sometimes humorous. Don't take them too seriously, but in the end they may help you in some way.

Tip #1: Get the Party out of Your System

This weekend many people will be studying, rather than the usual partying that goes on here in our fine city of Buckeyeville. Horrible idea.

What makes finals week so horrendous is the exit from the simple pleasures of weekend partying and boozing. Friday and Saturday night should be the last chapters in your quarter to be filled with partying and bad decisions. If you take these opportunities to get the partying out of your system, finals week will not be as bad. Without partying one last time, your finals week will be filled with desires to get away and go out to a bar or other place not conducive of studying.

So, young Buckeyes, get out there and party your asses off this weekend. It's your last chance this year.
