10 Things I Don't Have Time For During Finals Week

No, I don't have time to brush my hair unless I have a very good reason.

It’s the worst time of the year, right before the most wonderful time of the year, it’s finals week. After weeks of somewhat understanding the material and doing alright on quizzes, we have to know everything that we were supposed to know months ago. And it’s all for one exam. We’ll get through it, all of us, we’ll get through finals week and we’ll get to break and we’ll be fine. I promise.

1. Sleep

College students sleeping? Now that’s crazy. College students sleeping during finals week? I want some of whatever it is your taking.


2. Eat

Sometimes you get so busy studying that you forget to eat. We’ve all been there. Well, maybe not all of us, but I’ve been there

3. Call home

I’m sorry that I can’t talk right now mom, but I just have to relearn three hundred years of European history by tomorrow morning. Once I get through WWII, I’ll call back.

4. Laundry

I really don’t have the time to walk all the way to the first floor just to find out that all of the washers are being used and then have to check every five minutes to see if I can get my clothes in only for someone to end up taking them out of the dryer and putting them on the floor even though my basket was ON TOP OF THE DRYER.

5. Drama

Look, I’ve got five exams that I’m taking over a three day period. I don’t have time for the middle school drama that you have deemed important or the underlying hate that you have had for me the entire semester. Get over it.

6. Shave my legs

Unless I have a specific reason, it’s just not happening.

7. Not look like a garbage person

I am tired, over-caffeinated, drained, and about to take a two-hour exam. Don’t expect me to look cute. I’m serious.

8. Pack

Do I need to drive 4.5 hours on Friday? Absolutely. Have I started packing? Of course not. Why would I do that?

9. Make my bed

Actually, I’m doing this, but apparently, I’m the only one. Make your bed please, everyone.

10. Write my Odyssey article

But hey, I’m going to write them anyway.

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.
