As entertainment editor here at the CU Independent, I want all of our readers to have an awesomely entertaining week. Here are my picks for this week, so you’ll never have to worry about being bored.

“Don’t Panic!”: Test Anxiety/Stress Management Presentation
With only two weeks left of school and finals looming on the horizon, it’s easy to start pulling out hair and breaking down to fits of rage tears. Guest presenter Valeria Yeo, a pre-doctoral therapist, can show you study strategies and calming techniques so you don’t have to be the student who screams and tears their final up in the middle of the exam. The presentation is in Fleming 150, Monday at 1:30 p.m.
HOLIDAY SPECIALS
“Christmas in Acidland”
This bizarre collection of kitsch animation shorts, musical interludes, comedy bits and seasons greetings from the Reagans themselves offers some of the best of vintage television specials. The wildest Christmas show ever will play at the Dairy Center of the Arts Dec. 16 at 2 p.m. and Dec. 19 at 7 p.m. Tickets for the holiday madness are $8-$10.
