10 Ways To Prep For Finals

Well, kind of.

10 Ways To Prep For Finals

So the glorious, yet horrible last week of school is here, which means tears, agony, but also the eventual freedom. As college students, we know finals come at the end of each semester. However, we also choose to not prepare for finals like we should. Well, it looks like finals have finally arrived, and this is typically my prepping philosophy:

1. Crack open that dusty old book that hasn't seen the daylight since you rented it.

And don't even try to justify it. We all rent books "just in case," but most of the time half of our books rot in our backpacks, or just in our dorm room, not even being put to use.

2. Attempt to read the book.

Maybe look at the information and see what exactly you're studying. Hopefully, you have some idea by now, but looking at the book is a whole different story.

3. Shed some tears.

When you actually look at the book and start to read it, tears are probably going to well up in your eyes, because you have realized that you're going to be a failure.

4. Scroll around on the Internet.

I mean, you could be studying, but you could also be watching vines, so what's the real priority here?

5. Netflix.

Trying is pointless anyways. Let's get back to "Grey's Anatomy."

6. Cry again.

Don't even pretend that you're not going to. Maybe you're crying because of your Netflix series. Maybe you're crying because you're stressed. Or maybe you're just crying. Whatever the specific reason is, the tears will come.

7. Eat.

Comfort food is always a must. It lifts your spirits, that's for sure.

8. Sleep.

If the food didn't quite hit the spot, then opt for a nap. It'll make the sadness go away.

9. Wake up... and get your crap together.

Now it's actually time to study since your final is in two days. You've pushed the limits, but you knew you were going to study.

10. Cram.

As horrible as the process of finals are, studying is actually kind of a must. So quit moping, get to the library, and make some study cards. Believe me, they'll pay off.

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.
