17 Things that NDC Students Know To Be True (Finals Edition)
Ana Plumlee

I'm a list maker. I have a wall devoted to post-it notes that are all lists of things I'm thinking about or things I have to do. Finals week is not a time when I stop making lists, because list making is not a game. So, here's a list of things that I find that NDC students know to be true during finals week of fall semester.

     
  1. They take 24-hour quiet hours very seriously. Like conduct hearing and a fine if you violate them seriously.
  2.  
  3. If you thought that 8:30 classes were early, just wait til your final starts at 8:15.
  4.  
  5. Sweatpants and hoodies are your best friend.
  6.  
  7. You will do a lot of crying.
  8.  
  9. You will order a lot of pizza.
  10.  
  11. You will do anything to get energy. Energy drinks are preferred.
  12.  
  13. You will pull at least 3 all-nighters during finals week.
  14.  
  15. Anger is the default emotion. And you will get irrationally angry at everyone at some point.
  16.  
  17. Junk food is your best friend.
  18.  
  19. You will have a mental breakdown at one point.
  20.  
  21. You will fall asleep while studying.
  22.  
  23. You will sing parodies of songs to describe finals week feels.
  24.  
  25. Christmas is torture.
  26.  
  27. You will sleep any chance you get.
  28.  
  29. Everything will make you cry.
  30.  
  31. Netflix, lots of Netflix.
  32.  
  33. Everyone is religious and believes in God during finals...they want to pass!

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.
