In response to “Dead Week plan allows focus on final class exams”:

Give me a break. I am a recent college graduate living in the real world and proposals like this do a disservice to all students. Here’s an update: Life is hard and stressful and there are no dead weeks. Furthermore, the only reason you can’t handle the stress is because we as students procrastinate on all those papers and projects. And that’s our own fault. We, as students, need to step up, stop complaining and act like the adults we so desperately want to be. It will serve us well when the caps and gowns are stored away.
