16 Things You Could Be Doing Besides Studying For Finals

It's that time again! Time to spend countless hours in the library wasting away, not showering for days, eating only Jimmy Johns and pizza, and dreading the send out of final grades. But what if this time of year wasn't like that? An April or May without mental breakdowns and junk food-induced acne? What if you could do *gasp* something else but study during exams? Here are some less responsible alternatives.

1. Watching Netflix

2. Going to Taco Tuesday and having endless margaritas, chips, and salsa.

3. Reading a good non-school related book.

4. Laying in bed doing literally nothing for five hours (me).

5. Looking up karaoke youtube videos and singing along when no one else is home (also me).

6. Practicing contouring with the help of foreign Instagram accounts.

7. Laying out at the pool.

8. Planning a perfect vacation to go on after school gets out.

9. Going to the gym, actually for the first time since January.

10. Sitting in your room stressing about how you aren't studying for exams.

11. Doing something different to your hair and spending an hour trying to selfie from a good angle.

12. Going to the animal shelter and playing with the cute dogs and cats.

13. Painting and/or making crafts for your apartment.

14. Obsessively planning out your complete schedule for next semester.

15. Adding everything to your planner, even if it already happened.

16. Making brownies and instinctively eating the entire pan.

So clearly I'm not a good influence, but you can't tell me that all of these things don't sound more appealing than spending an entire week surrounded by textbooks.

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.
