10 Signs Finals Week Has Arrived
AZ

1. The library is more crowded than a Walmart on Black Friday.

Also, finding somewhere to sit requires the same fighting skills as making it out of Walmart alive.

2. Waiting in line to get coffee takes about as long as waiting in line for rides at Disney (half of your lifetime).

This means you have plenty of time while standing in line to contemplate how many projects, papers, and exams you still have left. Odds are by the time you reach the register you're going to be doubling that caffeine order.

3. Everyone is rocking the grunge/homeless look.

It's not that you haven't already been wearing sweats and Uggs to class, it's that now it's considered socially acceptable.

4. Your floor is deathly quiet at all hours.

Everyone is having a funeral for their GPA simultaneously, and the silence is ominous.

5. Office hours become the number one most demanded commodity on campus.

There is also a 99% chance your professor won't be showing up to office hours. Because that's just how this game is played.

6. People have their noses stuck in their textbooks like they're the last Harry Potter release.

Ahh, the smell of a freshly cracked open book, opened for the very first time.

7. The smell of desperation is in the air.

It's a tangible scent, like Axe--unappealing but recognizable.

8. You're considering changing your major again. Or your career aspirations. Or this whole idea of being in college.

It's never too late to make a career change.

9. Campus looks like the set of The Walking Dead.

It's both horrifying and reassuring. At least you're not the only one suffering.

10. You're counting down the days until this will all be over, and you'll be home for the holidays.

Keep calm and make it to Winter Break y'all.

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.
