12 Realizations You Have After Finals Week
Pi Data

Congratulations! You did it!

You may have not slept in 4 days, eaten anything healthy and lived off of coffee... but you still did it.

So congratulations, you didn't let finals week kill you. But you did let them open your eyes to some realizations...

1. Like your bed is actually your one and only true love
You have never really missed someone or something until you miss your bed. There is absolutely nothing that can replace it.

2. Coffee can keep you awake for 96 consecutive hours if you really believe in it
Nobody said it was the healthy way to live, but since when do college students listen to others?

3. Your professor lied when he said you couldn't wait till the last minute to study
Hey. More power to you. You're the real MVP and totally took on his challenge, and won. You're "watch me" attitude, really came in clutch.

4. All those phone calls made to your parents about how you were going to fail were totally worth it
...mainly because they were so proud when you didn't get that F like you said you were going to.

5. C's really do get degrees.
And sometimes D's do too, depending on the kind of college you go to and if art class is really going to help you become a better Lawyer one day.

6. Junk food does give you stomach aches
We've known this but yet it will forever be easier to sit there and eat popcorn while we study rather than a big ole' salad.

7. The youtube videos you thought were so funny last week, are actually really stupid.
This is how you know you have become an absolute master at procrastination and find absolutely everything funny when you are sleep deprived.

8. The library actually has eight floors.
....I bet you didn't know that, and I am just as stunned as you are.

9. Lists are like actually really helpful
Remember all that down time you had? Yeah, you were supposed to be cramming for the final at 1:30 and finishing a project that was due 3 days ago. But don't worry because by the end of the week, you learned to write that crap down.

10. You don't actually need to shower everyday
Personal hygiene is great and all, and I totally suggest it, but you learned that body spray really covers up that week old sweat.

11. "1 glass of wine" really means 6.
Shout out to finals week for really bringing out your inner alcoholic.

12. You're a freaking champ.
You survived finals week. And even if you have more finals weeks to come, you're a champ and deserve a medal or something.

So yes, you may not have gotten any sleep, eaten properly, had any form of a social life and cried more tears in one week than you have in your entire life, but at least you survived....right?

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.
