With finals upon us, life can get hectic and stressful. Some classes may require more time to study than others due to more content or maybe even the dreaded cumulative finals. Taking the time to go through some of these steps can help you stay sane this semester. Here are some tips to cope with the remainder of your semester.

1) Organize Everything

Throughout the semester you've had your papers scattered everywhere or maybe your notes aren't as clean as they should be.

Take the time to organize your notes so you can study easier.

2) Carve out Time

With such a hectic time, you need to plan out how your time is being spent. Between work, school, and a social life, finals time is the time when things can become the most stressful. Organizing not only your notes but your time will help you in the long run.

3) Get some rest

A crucial component of any smart student is a full night's rest. Make sure you're getting the amount of sleep you need so you can have the energy to do well.

4) Make Your Own Study Guide

Sometimes professors won't give you a review sheet and even if you did get one, it's not that great to look at for a reference. Go through your notes and make your own study guide to help you all the way up to the day of the final.

5) Me Time

Studying for back to back finals can be a toll on you. Make sure you take some time to take care of yourself. Whether it's a quick bite to eat, a nice cup of coffee, or meditation, your body will thank you.

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.
