10 Stages of Finals Week

Finals week - the bane of every college student's existence. We've all been through it, and breaking down your days is incredibly key. Here's a guide to getting through finals, in stages.


1. Plan out your days accordingly.

Class from 7:45 a.m. to 1 p.m.

Grab snacks from room 1:05.

Go to lib from 1:05 to 5.

Coffee break 2:50 to 3.

Cry on couch in lib 3:45.

Go eat the feelings 5:05 to 5:45.

Go back to the lib 5:50 to 12 a.m.

Go to dorm 12:05 a.m.

Cry in shower 12:10 a.m.

Watch Netflix 12:30 a.m. to 1:15 a.m.

Cry yourself to sleep 1:20 a.m.

2. Plan out the ways you can support yourself if you drop out of college.

Lets face it, at least once a day you consider dropping out of school and becoming a stripper; it's just a right of passage

3.Cry everywhere and anywhere.

No one will judge you; they feel the same way and might even join you

4. Call om and have a mental breakdown at least once a day.

Why did you let me leave home and try to be an adult? I don’t like it and I no longer want to do it. Help me.

5. Finals week is full of sleep-deprived students suffering from caffeine withdrawals.

Someone is sleeping in the hallway of the classroom building? Not weird. That person fell asleep while eating their dinner? Wow, I am jealous; that’s a good way to go down.

6.Your professors have no sympathy for you.

They know that you tried to save your grades last minute, they know you haven’t slept in days, they even know that you’re probably only alive because of the masses of caffeine in your veins, but they do not care. They are just as ready to get to summer as you are, and will have no mercy when it comes to getting that much-needed break from you fools.

7. You think the final is easy until you...

…turn to the second page and I promise you will lose all of that confidence. No, professor, this question was not on your study guide and I have no idea what I am doing. You think you have that question, then go to the next one and realize, hahaha, yeah, no, you really have no idea when you were taught this.

8. You don't like coffee? Well, finals week will change that.

When I went away to school I absolutely hated the taste of coffee. I now probably consist of 75 percent coffee and 25 percent blood.

9. Remember, "Cs get degrees."

Probably not the smartest strategy, but hey, it works.

10. There is no greater feeling than walking out of your last final.

Tears of joy are streaming from your eyes because you know you get to sleep again and don’t have to worry about school for a while … but let's be real, by the time you recover from finals it will be time to start the finals process all over again.

Happy finals week, and may the curve be ever in your favor!

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.
