10 Signs That It's Finals Week

Sleep is for the weak.

10 Signs That It's Finals Week
Her Campus

The last week of the semester is finally here. Good news: only one more week of classes. Bad news: it's a week of exam hell. Late nights, caffeine, and grouchy college students are what you have to look forward to. Here's how you'll know it's finals week.

1. You can't find a parking spot.

Finals week is the time for all of the habitual skippers to show up and wing the final. To be honest, they'll probably do better than those who came to class every day because that's just how college works. Totally unfair.

2. You can find all of the students in the library.

If you're wondering why campus looks like a ghost town, it's because everyone is in the library. My advice for you is to not venture to that part of campus during finals week, unless you absolutely have to study in the library. In that case, good luck.

3. You live by the phrase "Sleep is for the weak."

There's no time for sleep when you have two papers, six exams, and one presentation due.

4. But then you crash ... hard.

5. You find yourself crying at the most inappropriate times.

Lack of sleep + the stress of finals week = hysterical crying during the middle of an exam.

6. You wear the same pants multiple days in a row.

Somehow I always end up wearing my favorite pair of pants almost every day of finals week. I can't help it that they're so comfy!

7. No one is answering their phones.

Don't expect anyone to respond, because we're all too busy studying or wallowing in our self pity.

8. You contemplate dropping out and becoming a stripper.

We've all thought about it at least once.

9. But then you remember you're not very coordinated so you decide to stay in school.

Not all of us had the privilege of being born with amazing dancing skills, so back to school it is.

10. There are plenty of parties to choose from on Friday night.

Here's to the end of finals and hoping we all passed!

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.

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.
