Finals week in college is the epitome of stressed out students. There are caffeine junkies and night owls who are trying to save their grades. It is an overwhelming time crammed into a few long days so here are ten simple tips to help you relax during finals week.

1. Paint your nails.

This is quick to do and waiting for your nails to dry is a great time to read over notes.

2. Do a face mask

Set aside a ten minute time slot to do a face mask and practice self-care.

3. Drink coffee, tea, or hot chocolate.

Making a hot drink is relaxing, just do not overload on caffeine!

4. Watch one TV episode

It will take your mind off of school and allow for a mental reset. But have some self-control and watch only one. Binge during break!

5. Put on comfy clothes

Comfort is key. Put on your favorite old sweatshirt or cozy socks and get settled in for studying.

6. Participate in a holiday festivity

Spend 30 minutes baking cookies or decorating cards! This is a creative, fun, and quick thing to do to find your motivation for the holidays. Remember once finals are over, Christmas is here!

7. Sleep

Seriously. If you feel exhausted but do not have excess time, take 10 minutes to rest your eyes for a micro-nap.

8. Organize something

Hit a studying slump? Make a list, pack for the break, dust your room, or de-clutter your desk. This will give you a small yet instant boost of accomplishment.

9. Meditate

Ease your racing mind full of equations and definitions and practice mindfulness.

10. Pet a puppy!

Embrace the cuteness by finding a campus club or local shelter to play with the animals. It benefits both parties!

In an age where artificial intelligence can mimic the voice of Freddie Mercury or reimagine pop hits as synthwave ballads, a new frontier has emerged — one that blurs the line between innovation and erosion. While AI offers undeniable benefits in technical domains, its intrusion into creative arts, especially music, raises urgent questions. Not just about copyright, but about culture, education, and the very soul of artistic expression.

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.

We are all more than just one sign.

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.
