As we rush into the month of May, we find ourselves among a national testing craze. APs are right around the corner, the impending final exams are looming in the shadows, and the dreaded SAT exam is going down this Saturday. All around me, people are discussing SAT and ACT scores.

Procrastination is a way of life that many Uni students have come to know quite well. Some would argue that procrastination is almost an inevitability in respect to the amount of homework we receive.

Just recently I was able to experience one of the most relaxing afternoons I've had in a long time. After basketball practice I changed from my gross sweaty workout clothes in to flip-flops, jeans, and a jacket and made my way to Hada Cosmetic Medicine Center, located on 1 E. Main St. in Champaign.

Teachers pressure us. School counselors pressure us. Parents pressure us. Classmates pressure us. We pressure ourselves. We, as Uni students, seem to be under so much pressure that pressure is starting to not even look like a real word anymore.

Grades, test scores, college, sports, music, drama, and volunteering are all important things to us and to the people looking out for us, but there is something that could be even more important.
How about … our sanity?
