10 Things You Need To Get Through Finals

The end of semester is coming and all of the assignments are piling up. Every professor seems to team up and make everything due at the same time. You feel as if there is no hope and you have considered dropping out at least once per hour. As finals are quickly approaching, there are several things that I think are must-haves when it comes to surviving finals.

1. Coffee

Coffee is the number one way to gain energy! It is the best caffeinated drink ever! Drink this and you are sure to succeed and maybe even stay up all night.

2. Relax

Be sure to take time aside from studying to relax and not worry about anything. Put the studying away and maybe watch an episode or two on Netflix.

3. Take breaks

When studying be sure to not load up just on one subject. Spend an equal amount of time on each subject. I always study thirty minutes on each subject with a five minute break in between.

4. Study

This is obvious! The only way you can make sure you put forth an effort is by at least studying a bit before you take your final. You don't have to study in the library you can always study in groups or outside. Just make sure you stay focused.

5. Don't get distracted

Take time away from social media and texting to focus on the thing you are school for. Turn off your phone or put it on silent that way you can still focus!

6. Eat healthy

Be sure to take time out of your day to eat, you want to make sure you are staying hydrated.

7. Divide your time

Be sure to set a schedule so that you can make sure you are eating, studying and still able to sleep. You can't give up your life for studying.

8. Did I say coffee?

Oh yeah, and in case you didn't realize it, caffeine is important!

9. Sleep

You need to lay down and get more than a few hours of sleep! Don't try and pull an all-nighter. It may seem smart at the time, but trust me, you will regret it in the morning.

10. Exercise

Sometimes a 30-minute run at the gym is something to get your mind off of all the junk of studying. Plus, it keeps you in shape!


Now, with these 10 things you are sure to have a somewhat successful exam week. Now, put you best foot forward and study hard.

AI music threatens creativity

In an age where artificial intelligence can mimic the voice of Freddie Mercury or reimagine pop hits as synthwave ballads, a new frontier has emerged — one that blurs the line between innovation and erosion. While AI offers undeniable benefits in technical domains, its intrusion into creative arts, especially music, raises urgent questions. Not just about copyright, but about culture, education, and the very soul of artistic expression.

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.

Why Your Astrological Sign May Not Match Your Personality

We are all more than just one sign.

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.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

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.
