One of the most draining moments in the semester is Finals Week. It's like all of our essays, projects, and exams are due at once with no chance for a breather. So when the break is finally here, there a couple of things that could be done. So this are some recommendations that some of you might gladly follow through with.

1. Catch up on sleep

Let's be honest it has been a while since we've had a healthy sleeping pattern.

2. Binge Watch Netflix/Hulu

3. Hang out with friends, family, whoever you want.

Especially for all of my out of state friends who haven't seen their loved ones in a while.

4. Cut back on your caffeine intake

Especially since we have probably become dependent on it to stay awake during final week. So a break from caffeine would be appreciated by your body.But I know I won't cause all of the holiday drinks are delicious!

5. Maybe hit up someone you haven't spoken to in a while.

6. Read read read!

For all of my bookworm friends, now it's the time to see your TBR (to be read) pile decrease in size before the semester starts up again.

7. Enjoy the holiday season

Whether it be singing along to christmas songs, wearing ugly sweaters, or enjoying holiday foods. Have fun!

8. Go enjoy your local festivities.

There are usually many places to go like a carnival, ice skating rinks, and little shopping areas that are open specifically for the holidays. So go check them out.

9. Eat whatever you want.

Especially now that it's the Holidays and deserve it after all those soul sucking essays, projects, and exams.

10. Go to the beach

11. Go to a festival.

12. Go outside and enjoy the day because it's been a while.

13. Treat yourself!

Buy whatever, do whatever, go where ever you want!

14. Sleep some more

15. Enjoy your recovery over the break!

Before you know it, the holidays are over and we are back to school.

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.
