Finals time has arrived, and that means stress, late nights, and a whole lot of caffeine.

But, I am definitely looking forward  to going home and spending the Christmas and New Year’s holidays in New York City (and for those of you wondering, I will NOT be going to Times Square on New Year’s Eve. I’ll leave that stuff to the tourists.)

One good thing about finals though is finally getting rid of some of these books that I have laying around. Seriously though, DON’T go to the bookstore to sell your textbooks back. They usually give you less than what you could get.

I especially recommend www.bigwords.com. There you can compare the various sites that buy back textbooks and find the ones that will give you the best price. Just resist the urge to sell your books back before you take the final exam in that class. That would be very embarrassing for you – and your grades.

Once finals are done, though, sit back, relax and enjoy the break. You’ve (hopefully) earned it. Eat plenty, drink (soda that is) plenty and have a good time with friends. And hope that next semester is even better than this one.

All good things,

Sean
