“I feel relieved because I actually just finished my last midterm,” Martin Hidalgo, a fourth-year communications major, said. “I listened to a lot of music and played basketball during the time, which was helpful.”

He also had a tip he wanted to share.

“I hand wrote all my notes, which really helped me retain a lot of information,” Hidalgo said. “Because of that, I felt well prepared and not really stressed.”
