Last semester I noticed a frightening number of moans, groans, and angry looks. People stopped smiling at each other on the path, and roommates began bitching at one another for incredibly minor things. Sound familiar? Yes, I'm talking about classic semester-end crush. Everybody's going through it—you, your roommate, your RD, and your teachers. The work has been piling up to this point, and suddenly, instead of having an extra ijeek of classes between now and finals, we've got a vacation. No wonder everybody is upset. There's a solution to the grumps. It's not complete, but it helps a lot. If you find you've got nigh spirits—just finished that 5-page paper, you got a date to the Formal, whatever- -smile at people.
