15 Thoughts You Have Approaching Finals
Fratmusic.com

Well, it's that time of year again. It's the week before finals and it's time to crack down and get busy. You know you're the poster child for procrastination, so you have to toughen up and push yourself to get your studying done. So, you gather your notes, highlighters and sticky notes and prepare for the longest two weeks of your life. You lay it all out and your stress starts to build, but you calm yourself down and tell yourself you can do it. But, is it really that easy?

1. "Okay, final exams are just around the corner, I can do this."

2. "Maybe I should start to get my notes together and prepare..."

3. "...but it's still a whole week away, so why not catch up on some Netflix?"

4. "Jeez, it's already midnight? Where did time go? Oh well, I'll start studying tomorrow."

5. "Okay, it's really time to crack down. No distractions."

6. "Boy I'm hungry, maybe I should make some pizza rolls. And maybe a cake. Yeah, that sounds good."

7. "Well, I surely made a lot of food, maybe I should invite some friends over to help me eat it all."

8. "That was fun! Wait, wasn't I supposed to be doing something today?"

9. "Darn it! I was supposed to be studying! Okay, I'll go to the library. Surely I'll get something done there!"

10. "Okay here we go...the Pythagorean Theorem...what is that? Wait, I learned this in high school I think...right?"

11. "Got it! See, you got this. I don't even know why you're stressing yourself out. You are smart, you can do this!"

12. "Okay, No. 2....Oh my gosh, cute boy alert at 3 o'clock, can't look away."

13. "No. Look away. No distractions. Ugh, but I can't. I need to leave."

14. "Well, another day wasted. What day is it again? Wait, how is it already Saturday? I have exams in two days!"

15. "Guess it's time to do what I do best...cramming, here I come. Bring on the coffee."

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.
