Now that we're out of midterms and into finals, studying has become as much a part of our routine as going to the dining hall because we don't have the energy to cook. To make things a little easier, here are the different faces of studying if they were pandas.

1. Getting started.

The hardest part is actually getting started. After procrastinating for as long as possible, the panic sets in and we realize we have to start before it's too late.

2. Waking up an hour early to study.

The first lie we tell ourselves. We don't have class until 11 - we can wake up at 9. No, you can't.

3. Having a mental breakdown.

You have to have at least three before midterms are over. If you don't, I admire you.

4. Snack time


When you're all broke and there's only four Taquito's left, it's every man for himself.

5. Do anything and everything except studying.

You don't really party, but your friends are going. And you should be doing your paper, but why don't you ever take time to relax? You can do the paper later.

6. Realize all of your deadlines are piling up and 'later this week' is now 'tomorrow'.

You waited too long and wonder why you're so bad at time management.

7. Study groups.

Does anything ever get done?

8. Try to roll away from our problems.

Trying to roll away from your problems is unavoidable. Sometimes it's the only thing you can do.

9. Leaving your class after the exam.


It was a struggle, but you survived.

10. Getting your grades back.

Getting your grades back can sometimes be as stressful as studying for the exams. Whatever your grades, know that you don't have to be great at everything, and that it's okay to struggle.

Everyone does.

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.
