Therapy dogs are frequently showing up on college campuses to help students get over the stress of finals.
Let's establish something. I love dogs, and if I had the time and my schedule allowed, I'd rescue another in a heartbeat. Unconditional love. Walks. Fresh air. Exercise. I really miss not having a dog. As I've said before, no matter how miserable things were going, it was wonderful to see a friendly face when you walked in the door.
I will also admit that college life can be extremely stressful. Please refer to one of my entries from a couple of weeks ago for a story on that.
Be that as it may, the easiest way to a stress-free finals week is to go to class and pay attention, and then study, study hard, before the final arrives. Walk into that testing classroom with confidence.
I will note that, as I showed in that earlier blog entry, that while there are some things that will be over your head, at least studying hard gives you a fighting chance.
