Finals week drives everyone crazy, so before you have a mental breakdown you should:

10. Watch Netflix

Relax in bed and put on your favorite series and forget about the stress for 45 minutes. Well, maybe more than 45 minutes if you decide to binge-watch.

9. Go on a run/walk

What better way to let go of stress than to sweat it out? If it's a sunny day maybe even go for a long walk outside. But if it's raining, maybe just watch some more Netflix.

8. Shop online

Summer's almost here, so you can start shopping for things to wear when you finish those finals!

7. Clean/organize your room

You cant study or write that paper surrounded by clutter!

6. Read a book

Dive into a good book about people with problems worse than your finals.

5. Go get ice cream

It's ice cream — I don't think we need an explanation.

4. Do yoga

Breathe in, breathe out.

3. Go to the pet store and play with animals

Who doesn't like being surrounded by puppies and kittens?

2. Take naps

When in doubt, just lay in bed and fall asleep and dream of things that aren't your finals.

1. Maybe cry a little

Hey, crying is healthy... Don't have a full-blown mental breakdown, but if you shed a tear or two... that's okay.

Good luck with finals, everyone!

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
