Best of Week: "Study with nachos"

This past week of school has been a particularly busy and difficult one filled with many tests and quizzes. Dealing with this kind of work load can be very stressful and often teachers try to pretend like they are sympathizing, but they don't do anything to make the situation better. One piece of advice given to our academy class this week that I found particularly useful was when Mr. Allen told us all to "study with nachos." He didn't just mean that we should eat while studying, although that always keeps things more interesting, he meant for us to help each other with our work load and relax while doing it. My classmates and I took this to heart and over the weekend various groups of us got together and collaborated on our english essay test. This was very helpful and lessened some of our stress. It was nice for a teacher to give us a solution for once instead of just telling us that everything will be okay, even when it's not.
