How to Survive Dead Week and Finals This semester felt like it was dragging every day, only for us to get the end without even realizing how fast it was coming. All breaks were cut out of the semester to limit the risk of exposure to Covid-19 as much as possible. As a result, we are also getting out a lot earlier – before Thanksgiving.
