The most wonderful time of the year may not be all that wonderful when the stress of finals week is added in. The only thing that stands in the way of you going home for Winter Break is the worst week of the semester: finals week. This week entails long nights spent at Library West, overdoses of coffee and all the microwaveable meals you can fathom. If you’re looking to take a study break (well, let’s be honest; you haven’t even started studying yet), then check out our spinoff of a classic Christmas song. I present to you: “The Twelve Days of Finals at UF.”
