11 Things We Experience During Midterms

It's that time of year again. The second worst part of a college student's semester. In the rare chance you aren't aware: I'm talking about midterms. Over the past weekend (and the days before it started) I spent several hours doing homework, writing papers, and studying. I've reached the point where my eyes have glazed over, I can barely form coherent statements (let alone absorb anything I'm studying), and I want nothing more than to be done with this. I'm sure you know the feeling.

If you're going through this now, this list is for you. May it bring you a little bit of laughter in the midst of midterms.

1. When someone asks you 'What's Up?'

2. When someone asks if you want to hang out.


3. When you're on your 60th page of textbook reading.

4. When you really just want to sleep.


5. When you've reached your breaking point.


6. When you realize you're still sheltered from "the real world" since you're in college.

7. When someone says "I'll quiz you."

8. When your studying continues for several days straight.

9. When you ask your classmate a question and they're as lost as your are.


10. When you realize the only way to get everything done is just not to sleep.


11. When your friend says they have no midterms

Stay tuned for finals: coming May 2016.

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.
