Third Year Watching Dog Shelter Commercials to Mentally Prepare for Emotional Toll of Midterms

In order to get in the proper mindset for the emotional toll of midterms, third year Sarah Luttmer was seen staring tearfully at the seventh consecutive YouTube video of dogs and puppies who will probably never find a home. The school expects her current emotional state to reflect how she will feel walking out of any test administered at Tech, and she hopes this training will strengthen her emotional willpower.

Crying her way through each video, Luttmer firmly believes such preparation will help her make it through her four-test midterm week without permanent damage to her feeling of self-worth. “Last year I broke down on Tuesday of that week. I still had two midterms to go and I just can’t go through that again,” Luttmer lamented between sniffles, before dabbing a tear running down her left cheek. “I know this sort of preparation will create a more solid emotional foundation I can base my studies on.” Witnesses later observed her complete watching an entire two and a half minute dog shelter advertisement without a single tear on her fifteenth replay of the video. Luttmer reportedly completed her study session by lying in bed for several hours, eyes wide open, listening to Sarah McLaughlin’s “Angel” on repeat.
