With the end of the semester approaching, and the dark cloud that is finals looming over our heads, we can't help but get frustrated with those around us, especially those who are sleeping just a few short strides away.

I've overheard countless conversations, just in the last few weeks, in which people are bitching about their roommates, complaining about a neighbor, etc.  Though, it can only be expected.  We've gone practically the entire year without lashing out at each other, and all that pent up rage seems to be leaking out of our pores. 

Fortunately for me, my roommate and I get along quite nicely, even in the final days of our sophomore year.  There are others, however, (and I won't mention any names) who aren't quite so lucky.  I can do a lot of damage right now, revealing the misfortunes of others around me via this post, but I'll keep my mouth shut and let them work their own issues out.

Aside from roommate drama, squabbles with the suite of boys next door have been frequent.  It isn't that we don't love them, but rather because we all seem to be on edge.  

So here's some advice my little Binghamtonites (Sp?):
 
-Relax.  Don't let the people around you get under your skin these last few days.  You'll be home, bored out of your minds, soon enough, just wishing you were back in the dorms.
-Have a little something to drink, it will calm your nerves.   A day without a buzz is a day that never was.  (Under 21: ignore that last tip)
-Lock yourself in the lounge; you'll get more work done that way. 
-And Remember kids, this too will pass.
