Finals week can be very stressful and overwhelming. You can't let the stress take over though, you have to do something about it! Takes little breaks, or try one of these ten things to relieve your finals week stress!

1. Attend a Zumba class

I know when I am stressed, I love to dance it out. Zumba classes are super fun and a great workout, too!

2. Paint

Bob Ross

Painting is one of the most relaxing things ever. Some people even use painting as a form of therapy. It's a fun and easy way to get your mind off of things and relax.

3. Have lunch with your friends

Just sitting down, eating good food, and having a conversation with your friends is the best. Nothing beats a conversation full of laughter while you're chowing down.

4. Try out a yoga class

Yoga is a wonderful way to clear your mind and get a workout in, too.

5. Go for a run

A run can make you feel 100% better if you've got a lot of stress built up. It can make you feel like a weight has been lifted off of your shoulders.

6. Take a long shower

Long, warm showers are good for the mind, body, and soul. You feel like a brand new person afterward. It's an awesome way to forget about your responsibilities for a little while.

7. If the weather is beautiful, study outside

Nothing beats a beautiful day outside. Fresh air and beautiful scenery can help with stress. Even if you're stressing, being outside makes it just a wee bit better.

8. Listen to music

Music is one of the best-known performance enhancers. Whether you're just taking a break and listening to music or you're listening to it while you study, music can make a huge difference in the way you feel.

9. Go to the pet store and play with animals

Because what's better than petting and playing with animals?

10. Take a nap

Sometimes school gets the best of you and the best thing to do is take a cat nap.

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.
