10 Thoughts Running Through Your Head Around Finals
Abigail Sannizzaro

Finals week is not something most people look forward to. However, it does mean the ending of a semester of hard work. There are probably many thoughts running through your head while you are cramming for those exams, but here are ten that I bet are most common.

1. "I'm going to fail."

Yeah, this is generally the most common thought you'll have. But if you manage your time well and study for the necessary amount of time, you’ll hold your own!

2. "When did we learn this?"

It's so much fun when you're studying material from early in the semester and you don't remember any of it.... Thank God for review sessions and the text book.

3. "Whoever came up with this is stupid."

We've all had this thought at some point, most likely in a math course. What is that formula? Why would anyone think using these variables would make life easier?

4. "I will never, ever take a class like this again."

Yeah, at least taking the final means you’re done for good!

5. "When is break?"

We're almost there. We can do this!!

6. "This is the easiest class I have, I can probably pull this one off!"

Thank God for that one class that is just easier than the rest. It's always nice to have at least one exam that you know for a fact you can crush.

7. "There is one more exam standing in the way of me and vacation...bring it."

I love walking into that last class knowing that when this one exam is over, you're done and get to go home.

8. "Why am I up so late..."

We've all had that one class where you're up until some ungodly hour studying and studying and doing nothing else but studying. But hey, that's what finals week is all about right?

9. "Why does this final need to be a presentation?"

Presenting in front of a group of people may be one of the most common fears shared among people. Just remember, I doubt anyone is really paying attention, and everyone is just thinking about when they go.

10. "I will not have a life until my last exam is over."

Taking exams are important and it takes up a lot of time - much more time than any of us want to use up. However, its necessary and worth it when you see that you’ve done well.

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.

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.
