15 End-Of-The-Semester Moments Every College Student Experiences, As Told By Nick Miller

Ah, finals. While there's no proper way to quite capture all the crippling anxiety and self-loathing that comes at the end of the semester, Nick Miller from New Girl sure does come close. Get even more sidetracked from the work you should be doing and enjoy these 15 moments all college students experience at the end of the semester.

1. Coming back from Thanksgiving break and remembering everything you have to do over the next three weeks.

2. Finally checking the syllabus in your "easy" class and realizing your professor assigned a group project, final paper and exam all due before Christmas.

3. Continuing to put off everything and rewarding yourself for the little bit of work you do.

4. Finding little things to keep you as positive (and sane) as possible...

5. ...only to have the panic start to kick in with just two weeks left.

6. Beginning to question why you decided to "college" in the first place, looking into other professions that don't require an education.

7. Priding yourself in completing basic, everyday tasks - such as getting out of bed that day.

8. Using your stress as an excuse to treat yourself.


9. Wishing you could bring the comfort of your room (specifically, your bed) to the library with you.

10. De-stressing by having a glass (or bottle) of wine.

11. Reassuring your parents that you're taking care of yourself - kind of.


12. Lacking any sort of social or romantic life, so you resort to befriending the workers at the library's café who make your hourly coffee.


13. Studying for hours yet the only thing you've memorized is that "the mitochondria is the powerhouse of the cell".

14. Accepting that you're going to fail.


15. Walking out of your last exam relieved...only to remember you have to do it all over again next semester.

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.
