You got this, Owls! All you have to do is study for a few final exams, put the finishing touches on a presentation, write a couple 10-page papers, get in touch with those people in your class you’re supposed to do a group project with who haven’t responded to your last 11 emails and then do the project. Easy! And when we say easy, we mean everyone is approximately two minutes away from a total meltdown. That’s why Nutshell is here with a guide to get you through finals. Step one: Know when your exams are. Step two: Hang out with a dog.
We love Beury Beach, but it doesn’t always offer the island vibe we crave during finals week. As much as we can pretend the little patches of dirt are indeed sand, palm trees are never going to be a thing here in the Northeast—unless you’re at IKEA. But there is something that can transport us someplace tropical: 4 Brothers. To be clear, we’re talking about our new favorite food truck, not the 2005 Marky Mark and Tyrese movie (which is also great, BTW). This truck serves up Puerto Rican favorites like fried plantains and pastelillos, which are savory, fried pastries that will make you upset you ever wasted your time with a Hot Pocket.
