How many of you had de-stressers before exams?

Bong hits worked for me.

My university sets up an 'oxygen bar' in the library.

I have no idea what 'playing cornhole' means.

A well-read individual such as yourself should be able to Google it though LINK.

It's a very common game.

What a pathetic generation. Finals aren't that damned stressful if you prepare for them and know your shite. My boss doesn't offer me destressors and petting zoos when I have seemingly impossible deadlines. I just grab an extra cup of coffee and stay late until I get the shite done.

No wonder they need therapy dogs and stuffed animals after an election.

That last picture is magical.

Oh what I would give to have a time machine to load these frickers on and be able to send their asses into Iwo Jima on an Amtrac.

As a student I often had dreams like walking into class and hearing the prof say "OK, it's the end of the semester you all need to come up and put your term papers on my desk."
I then said "What term paper?"

The "unprepared" student dream is a pretty common one. Mine usually involves not studying for a test. I think it means you have something unfinished that your mind is trying to remind you of.

I don't see what the problem is. In today's environment, getting a degree means nothing, (outside of engineering) as only the top 10-20% (assuming you're not a minority) get decent jobs when they graduate. That makes exams much much much more important than they were even 10 years ago. Scholarship money is also tied to them, and with the rising costs of tuition, losing scholarship money means you either drop out of school or take on crushing debt.

There's nothing wrong with having respurces available for kids to blow off some steam. Many universities had problems of students getting into booze and narcotics during exams and overdosing or committing suicide. Having stress relievers is just one easy way to combat this. So what if they let students take a 20 minute study break to visit with a dog or play washers? That doesn't make them pussys, it makes them resourceful, social, and fun. Heck, some years we'd do a flash rave or run a naked mile.

Seriously, old dudes, get over yourselves and let yourself have a little fun every now and then. It's just kids being kids finding a way to make a stressful time where literally their entire future depends on 1 test, a little more fun. Besides, these events are usually staffed by volunteers and cost the university nothing or very little to put on, and are paid for with fees the students themselves voted for.
