11 Things You Experience During Finals Week

Finals week -- it should actually be called Hell week. Because. It. Is. Hell. It is the time of the semester that we all dread (and at the same time wait for because we want it to end already). Nonetheless, it is the most stressfull time of the entire semester, and it will make you want to pull your own hair out. Here are 11 things you notice during this special week.

1. Parking is even more limited than usual.


It's 7 a.m. and you realize there's no parking. Yup, it's finals week at FIU.

2. People actually show up to class.

You'll spend your time in class wondering, "Who the hell is that?"

3. Coffee lines grow beyond proportion.


Want Starbucks? Einstein's? Dunkin'? Bustelo? #GoodLuck

4. Group chat overload.


"Did you study?!" "Send me your notes please." "Omg **** this!"

5.You'll be more sleep deprived than usual.


Bags under my eyes are usually my signature trademark, but when it's finals week, it starts to look more like a black eye.

6. You realize that it's time to actually look at your notes.


Of course, this is when you realize that you probably didn't take notes, or you can't understand them.

7. And you open your textbook for the first time.


So this is what I paid 80 dollars for.

8. You panic when you remember that the final is cumulative.


You suddenly realize that you've forgotten everything since the midterms.

9. You'll cry at least once.


You might even cry when you open the exam and realize that you might be pretty screwed this semester.

10. You'll find yourself in the Christmas spirit, but are still forced to take finals


11. When it's over, you'll push the suffering to the back of your mind. Till' next time.

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.
