You can start studying as early as you want for finals, but it’s so important to make sure you’re not straining yourself. So, breaks are essential. Although most studies suggest taking breaks away from the screen are the most beneficial, we know in today’s day in age that is really hard to do that when you just want to sit back, relax and not think for about two hours. However, when you get to the time where you need that break, you really don’t want to waste your time browsing Netflix or Hulu for hours searching for a movie that’s good. So here’s a list of movies to make taking a break a little easier, but are gripping and worth your time:

If you’re browsing Netflix…

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.

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.
