Many students and faculty are having a stressful time. On the cusp of spring (and then summer!), it feels as though school might never end. And for seniors, the anticipation for graduation is growing every day; senioritis is even more contagious than that lice infestation last semester.

The best way to overcome these looming emotions? For me, there is comfort in knowing what lies ahead. So, I am going to outline the small amount of school we really have left to conquer!

• Freshmen and sophomores, you only have 56 school days left (excluding finals).
• Juniors, you only have 51 days left (excluding service week and finals).
• And seniors have a mere 40 days left (excluding service week and finals).

To put these numbers in perspective, I did a little math.

• The average STA student has only 49 days left of school – about 13.43 percent of a year.
• These 49 days correspond to approximately 343 hours left of school; in comparison, the average person spends about 13,140 hours in the bathroom in a lifetime.
• We have about 20,580 minutes left in school. This may seem overwhelming, but in a year there are 525,600 minutes.

So, with that I leave you to ponder the little time we have left. Make the most of it.
