CRUNCH TIME! HOOAH!

As finals approach, I'm sure the majority of you, like me, are feeling the crunch. Projects loom, deadlines glare, and the tests themselves sit in a creaky rocking chair, giving you an odd look and holding a shotgun. I suppose what I'm wondering is this: Why the hell are these finals imposed on us? I mean, I understand the need for testing and benchmarking and whatnot, but why finish up with such a stresser? Wouldn't it make more sense to test us slightly harder throughout the year, rather than take a giant dump on us now? Just some food for thought.
