There are a lot of activities that start today and go until next Tuesday, the Wiz Khalifa concert. To get a list of all of the Spring Carnival events, check out this link: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.facebook.com\/home.php#!\/event.php?eid=165626790157203&amp;index=1\"><span style=\"color: cyan\">http:\/\/www.facebook.com\/home.php#!\/event.php?eid=165626790157203&amp;index=1<\/span><\/a>. It has all the essentials that you need to know. <\/p>\n<p>But on a more serious note, Spring Carnival is known to be the biggest party on college campuses. So be smart about what actions you take this weekend. Remember that <u>you are not allowed to have alcohol in your room in the Resident Halls unless you are 21 years old<\/u>. And that there is to be no drugs in the Resident Halls either. There will be <em>extra security<\/em> in each of the Resident Halls starting on Thursday, they are there to make sure everyone is safe through the weekend. <span style=\"color: yellow\">If you have any questions on these rules please speak with your Resident Advisor.<\/span> The RAs would have no problem explaining the rules, in more detail, to you. <\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: lime\">Finals. Finals. Finals.<\/span> <br \/>As all of you know, finals are approaching fast and it&#8217;s time to start studying. If you don&#8217;t know your final schedule yet, you can<span style=\"color: cyan\"> log into ISIS<\/span> and there is a Quick Link (the Student Center page)&nbsp;to your exam schedule. Make sure you <strong>go to all of your classes<\/strong> following up to finals because your professor&#8217;s will be giving you information that will be helpful on the exam and they might even tell you information that you don&#8217;t need to study (which saves you a lot of time!). <\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: yellow\">SUMMER!!!!!<\/span><br \/>Summer is so close it&#8217;s hard to stay focused in class and when you are studying. But do your best because before you know it, you will be at the beach getting a tan. <span style=\"color: lime\">Look though the old blogs that we have posted for some extra study tips<\/span>. <\/p>\n<p>Good luck in your last few days of classes!!<br \/>-Meg (:<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>With only 8 days of classes left there are only a few things on everyone&#8217;s mind: Spring Carnival, finals, and SUMMER!
