Hello again, Finals Week. How we have (definitely not) missed you. This next week will try our patience, raise our stress levels, and be the straw that almost breaks the camel’s back, but we will be ready for you! FSU offers a lot of resources to its students during these trying times, and even extends the hours of many places to help those of us who are learning to earn our all-nighter badges. Want a double espresso, macchiato, tres leche whatever at 5 in the morning? You can get your double espresso, macchiato, tres leche whatever at 5 in the morning.
