10 Things To Do Instead Of Studying

It's that time of year where every college campus is full of stressed out students. They are all attempting to keep it together as they finish three papers, study for all the finals and attempt to keep friends at the same time. While all of this is happening they are itching with Christmas fever. All of this combined leads to extreme levels of procrastination. Right now on any college campus you are sure to find students doing any of the below instead of studying like they probably should.

1. Binge watching Netflix

When your backpack weighs 400 pounds and your computer is staring at you, that's when Netflix seems the most comforting.

2. Overeating... a lot

You have to get your money's worth since you already paid for the meal plan. So when all else fails, the caf is there for you

3.Sleeping

As students, we are perpetually sleep deprived. So why not catch up now?

4. Talking about how much you have to do

We all have stuff to do, and we all know that. But why actually get to work when you can text everyone, complain on Twitter, Facebook and every other online platform?

5. Calculate what you need to get on your final

This is when you realize you know nothing, so instead of working and actually learning, you calculate the exact percentage you need to get on the test to pass the class.

6. Online shopping

As soon as finals are over it's Christmas break, and you know that you're going to get money, so you're just spending it now.

7. Refresh Twitter... every 10 seconds

Something cool happened somewhere and you need to know about it.

8. Clean anything and everything

You haven't vacuumed in a while, and you really need to laundry. Can't study in a dirty space.

9. Call you parents

You want to go home, so you call. Then they ask why you aren't studying and you are right back to where you started.

10. Color

Kids don't have finals, so just act like a kid and color for a while.

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.
