By Julie Ferguson Features editor

All-nighters, lost computer disks, fail- ing grades and term papers are all part of the end-of-the-semester blues. Students and professors alike are ready for the semester to be over. “Anyone who has procrastinated will be stressed and at this point the stress will skyrocket and become a major issue,” David Onestak, counseling center director, said. “Cramming is overrated and is a ter- rible strategy. It screws up everything in the body’s system. It is not an effective way to study.” Onestak said most people do not work well under pressure.
