Local restaurants cater to students during busiest week of semester

6

Biomedical laboratory science senior Maryssa Trupiano studies for her final exams on Tuesday Iorio’s Gelateria, 1034 Trowbridge Road in East Lansing. She said that she usually studies in her dorm in Brody Hall, but came out to Iorio’s because she heard that they were giving out free coffee to students.

The amount of cookies you can get with two milks for $12 at Insomnia Cookies until Dec. 21.

BIGGBY COFFEE Indulging in caffeine is something almost all students do in order to survive finals week, but as it gets later at night, it is hard to find a coffee place open. East Lansing’s Biggby Coffee is open 24 hours, which can be a huge benefit for students who want a cup of coffee and need a quiet place to study late at night.

PIZZA HOUSE Pizza is an expected part of studying in college. Pizza House is open until 4 a.m. and almost always has student deals. The restaurant also delivers into the night, which can be a bonus for students in bigger study groups.

During finals week, even the most diligent sleepers become night owls.

It’s hard to prepare a meal or even make time to go to the closest dining hall for one.

However, it’s important to make time for decent meals to keep students going through late-night study sessions.

Thankfully, many restaurants in the area know students tend to stay up late and offer late-night delivery.

Here is a list of places that deliver late into the night for students pulling all-nighters any time of the year.

INSOMNIA COOKIES Insomnia Cookies stays open until 3 a.m. every night, which is a benefit for students who need a sweet treat to keep them going while studying.

Insomnia Cookies almost always has a deal for students. Currently, Insomnia Cookies offers a deal for one students and a study buddy to get six cookies and two milks for $12 until Dec. 21.

JIMMY JOHN’S When studying and writing papers during finals week, time is of the essence. So when you need food fast and at late hour, Jimmy John’s can be a good fit. A quick bite while studying can help you focus more on studying and less on food.

There are also multiple locations on campus to reach a wide range of people.

PITA PIT Pita Pit is a fresher alternative to the typical junk food students consume throughout finals week.

It’s open until 1 a.m., which is late enough for a study snack. The delivery service makes it easier while you study for your tests.

HOURS Insomnia Cookies: 11 a.m. to 3 a.m.

Jimmy John’s: Sunday through Wednesday: 10 a.m. to 3 a.m.

Thursday though Saturday: 10 a.m. to 4 a.m. (all East Lansing Locations) Biggby Coffee: 24 hours Pizza House: 10:30 a.m. to 4 p.m.

Pita Pit: Sunday through Wednesday: 10:30 a.m. to 1 a.m.

Thursday though Saturday: 10 a.m. to 4 a.m.

Iorio’s Gelateria: Saturday: 9 a.m. to 10 p.m.

Sunday: 9 a.m. to 9 p.m.

Monday through Friday: 7 a.m. to 10 p.m.

IORIO’S GELATERIA Not a lot of ice cream or sweet shops are open after 8 p.m. Iorio’s Gelato has both espresso and gelato, both of which will give students a sugar boost for a long night of cramming.

The shop closes at 10 p.m., making it a good stop before you can’t look up from a chemistry book all night. Iorio’s has good space for studying during the day in addition to student deals.

Coupons can also make choices easier when deciding what to get during finals week. It’s a good time to use up The State News’ coupon books and just worry about passing your tests.

Finals week study advice

BY ASHLEE KRAWCZYK

ARAWCZYK@STATENEWS.COM

Finals week is upon us, and it’s time to get focused. Here are some healthy and effective study tips to help you ease the stress of final exams.

SLEEP: Sleep should be the most obvious tip, but students still think they will accomplish more if they sleep less. Not getting enough sleep will do more harm than good.

Sleep affects moods, alertness, thinking and academic performance. Division of Sleep Medicine at Harvard Medical School says while sleeping, neural associations and memories are reinforced for later recall needed while taking an exam.

Less than eight hours of sleep can affect cognitive functions. According to the Association for Psychological Science, lack of sleep can lead to an increase in false memories and lead you to choose the wrong answer on an exam.

MAKE FLASHCARDS: Using notecards to study is an effective study habit. Test by writing vocabulary words on the front of a notecard and their definitions on the back.

This creates a connection between your brain and the information, helping you memorize efficiently.

TAKE A BREAK: Our minds can only absorb so much information at a given time. Eventually, we find ourselves zoning out and reading the information, but not necessarily processing it.

Giving yourself a short study break to get a bite to eat or a glass of water will provide you with energy to keep concentrating.

SAY IT OUT LOUD: Reciting the information out loud can help students concentrate and process while studying. According to the American Psychological Association, students who used this method performed better on tests than students who used other methods.

LEAVE THE PHONE AT HOME: Leaving your dorm or apartment and find a distraction-free place to study is always a good strategy. To make this strategy even more effective, try leaving your phone at home, on silent or even on airplane mode while studying.

It will help you avoid the temptation of social media and disrupting texts and phone calls.

Your Twitter, Snapchat and Instagram followers will survive if you take a break from social media for a few hours a day.

On-campus study spots tailored to quiet, late-night preparations

BY CAMERON MACKO CMACKO@STATENEWS.COM

Looking for a place on campus to cram during exam week? Fret not. MSU has plenty of places for the procrastinators to congregate during the wee hours of the morning.

MAIN LIBRARY The Main Library is open 24 hours from Sunday to Thursday and closes at 5 p.m. on Friday before reopening on Dec. 21.

UNION For those not looking for an all-nigher, the Union might be a decent spot. On Sunday of exam week the building opens at 9 a.m. and closes at 2 a.m. For the rest of the week, Monday through Thursday, the building opens at 7 a.m. and closes at 2 a.m. It closes at 8 p.m. on Friday.

DINING HALLS A nice snack can be great whilst knee-deep in books. For students with a dining plan, or those willing to shill out the money, the dining halls that serve late night food can be life saver.

The dining halls in Snyder-Phillips, Brody Hall, Akers Hall and Wilson Hall all offer late night.

CLASSROOMS Though it might sound unorthodox, classrooms can be a fantastic study spot. Usually quiet, provided a class is not in session, it can be a nice relief from the volume of the Main Library or dining halls.

BUSINESS LIBRARY It’s not just for business students. The Business Library is open Monday through Thursday of exam week from 8 a.m. to 2 a.m.

How to cope with finals week stress

BY ALEX KURRIE AKURRIE@STATENEWS.COM

It’s that time of year. The looming terror of final exams stands between students and bellowing for freedom like an emasculated Mel Gibson in “Braveheart.”

However, the barrier of finals often proves a much more difficult task than some give it credit for.

“For some it is a motivator and others it can be a real challenge,” said MSU expert on student mental health Dennis Martell, a health education services coordinator at Olin Health Center. “Some deal with it very well and others may need help.”

Almost all students report feeling more stress during this time, he said, and students agree.

Packaging junior Abby Sangmeister said she feels as if exams are hyper-emphasized and cause an unnecessary amount of stress on students.

“I feel as if it is stressed way too much,” she said. “It is simply way too competitive.”

Others agreed the stigma of finals and its subsequent stress can have drastic implications on those taking the final exams.

“Stress is definitely an issue for academic performance and for some people more than others — those who are prone to anxiety and depression problems,” psychology professor Jason Moser said.

However, both Moser and Martell asserted there are a multitude of sources and means by which students can learn to cope with the stress of exams.

Martell gave each of the following suggestions.

MOVEMENT

Either just taking a walk, or getting some more grueling exercise can reduce stress.

SLEEP

Probably the most important thing a student needs to do. You cannot cheat sleep, because sleep will end up cheating you.

CONVERSATION

Talking with a close friend or family member can help get your mind off of stress.

MUSIC

PRAYER

Whether listening or playing.

For those who do, it can help.

MEDITATION

ASK FOR HELP

Either active or just taking some time to rest the brain.

If you are feeling overwhelmed, ask for help from the MSU Counseling Center, Student Health Services, Residence Education and Housing Services, clergy, etc.

Additionally, Moser proposed creative writing as a possible stress outlet.

“One that has some good research behind it and makes sense to me is expressive writing.

Prior to an exam students could try to write out all of their worries and fears about the upcoming exam. This can help “offload” the worries before the exam so they can focus better at the time of the test,” he said.

Lastly, Martell noted the Student Health Ser6

T H E STAT E NE WS

vices on campus is hosting several de-stress events from now until finals.

They are at 6 p.m. to 8 p.m. Tuesday in Hubbard Hall, 6 p.m. to 8 p.m. Wednesday in Holden Hall, 6 p.m. to 8 p.m. Thursday in McDonel Hall and 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. Friday in the Union.

One last word of advice — watch MSU’s last second victory over University of Michigan on repeat for ten minutes.

Finals week is upon us once again, which is both terrifying and exciting. Winter break is just on the horizon for all Spartans. Some of us have been counting down the days until a break from classes and work since the second week of September. The only thing standing in the way now is an intimidatingly high pile of papers, projects and cumulative exams to prepare for.

Every student has their own arsenal of study strategies and ways to cope with the stress of finals week and every student has a preferred method to ensure the most success possible with those big exams. Some like to cram as much in as possible and just shoot for the passing grade, while others will be disappointed with anything less than a glorious 4.0.

However or wherever you like to study, there’s one fabled method you should try to avoid.

The “all-nighter” is as much a part of the college mythos as beer pong and student loans.

We’ve all heard stories from our peers about the time they powered through a 10-page paper the night before it was due, fueled only by espresso shots and microwave pizza.

As finals week approaches, keep in mind that not only are all-nighters terrible for your health, they are also completely avoidable.

We all love to party during the weekends and watch the Spartans dominate in college athletics, but the ultimate reason we’re all here is to go to school, isn’t it? In that case, it shouldn’t really be a surprise to anyone when exams come sneaking up again. Did you not realize your classes were eventually going to come to a culmination?

Keeping a closer eye on your syllabus and actually talking to professors before or after MO N DAY, DE C E M BER 14, 2015

VISA CREDIT CARD

class are simple, proactive ways to avoid allowing all of your yearly expectations to pile up on you. Getting a head start on some of those papers and, dare I say it, reading ahead in a textbook can save you from tears and anguish at the end of the semester.

If you find yourself overwhelmed to the point of sleep deprivation during finals week, you’ve got no one to blame but yourself. Managing your own schedule and workload is tough, but it’s your responsibility.

So don’t waste time complaining on Facebook about your research paper that’s due tomorrow when it was assigned in October.

Just go write the paper.

All-nighters are awful for your health. Sleep deprivation is a serious issue with tons of nasty side effects. Your mental cognition will be slowed significantly, your internal body clock will be thrown completely off and you’ll be in an irritable mood. While sometimes you have to put your nose to the grindstone, chances are you can at least find time for an hour or two to recharge your brain with a power nap.

Sleep deprivation robs your body of nutrients and can make it just as dangerous to drive a car as if you were coming straight from Rick’s American Cafe. You’ll be prone to the danger of your brain shutting down and falling asleep anywhere at anytime. In any case, you won’t be in any condition to take an exam that might count for a serious chunk of your whole grade.

The only all-nighter I’ve ever pulled myself involved beating Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater and I felt too out of it to play a video game, let alone ace an exam. Skipping out on sleep completely is far more detrimental to your health, performance and preparation than the alternative, so try your hardest to plan ahead this week and use naps to your advantage whenever you can.

May the force be with you.

QUIZ: What caffeinated drink is best for you?

THAT FEELING WHEN YOU’RE ONE POINT AWAY FROM A 4.0

BUT THERE’S NO CURVE IN THE CLASS Need a place to study?

BY MCKENNA ROSS MROSS@STATENEWS.COM

Pulling all-nighters for finals might not be the healthiest option, but with finals coming closer, you might need the quietness that the library provides at 4 a.m. Even with books, highlighters and a playlist ready for a marathon study session, there still might be one thing holding students back — the urge to sleep.

The State News has a quiz on which caffeine option is best for you, so you can avoid counting sheep before your paper’s deadline.

1. Where do you like to go and study or get work done?

2. What do you think tastes the best?

3. How much cramming do you need to get done before finals?

A) My room.

B) The quiet wing of the library.

C) A coffee shop or other chill restaurant.

D) A designated study area in an MSU building.

A) Something light or not much flavor.

B) Depends on my mood.

C) Something bitter.

D) Something sugary with a kick.

A) Not too much. I’ve been preparing for awhile.

B) A moderate amount. I know I can do well if I try.

C) More than I thought. Some classes are a struggle.

D) So much. I need to recap the entire semester.

4. How many all-nighters have you pulled before?

5. What do you have to do the next morning?

6. What is your grade in the class you are studying for?

A) 0-1.

B) 2-3.

C) 4-5.

D) 6 or more.

A) Not much at all.

B) A few errands that I can put off.

C) I have class.

D) It’s exam day.

A) A 4.0, I just want to finish strong.

B) A 3.0 or 3.5, so close to a 4.0.

C) 2.0 or 2.5.

D) Almost failing, I need the credit!

MOSTLY A’S: TEA

MOSTLY C’S: COFFEE

Tea is a good choice for you if you need something calming while you review your notes or lectures. The variety of flavors and different ways to make it gives you just what you need to make it through the night, or just enough to stay awake for a few more hours.

Though it’s not liked by all, it’s famous for the extra kick it’ll give you. If you’re in need of a few more hours, the average cup of Joe can last for five hours after consumption. If you’re feeling adventurous, try a shot of espresso in your cup of coffee.

MOSTLY B’S: SODA

MOSTLY D’S: ENERGY DRINK

This is a good choice for you if you’re not a big caffeine drinker. It’s offered in every convenience store, vending machine, cafe or place where you might g to study. Drink a Coca-Cola or two and you’ll be able to stay awake later to finish that last homework assignment or final project.

Let’s face it — this is something you’ll need if you’re desperate to stay awake. If cramming is your only option, a Red Bull or Monster might help you through the night. Pick up an energy drink on the way to library, but be sure not to drink too many if you’re not used to their side effects.
