Well, ladies and gentlemen, it's that time of the year again.

It's the time where we start sharing, retweeting and favoriting all those tweets and articles that relate the most to us struggling "end of the semester" college students. Weirdly, this time of the year seems to come earlier every year. It seems like you have no time in the day to do anything but school work, and when you do have time for a breather it's spent worrying about upcoming assignments or the fact that you have to be missing an assignment because there is no way you actually have this so called, "free time."

The one thing we are all sure of is that we don't have time to fully respond to the people who are asking how we are doing. Don't get me wrong, we appreciate and love everyone who checks up on us, we really do, because statistically college students are as stressed out and have the same levels of anxiety as a psychiatric patient did in the 1950s... but we can't write everything that we are feeling and not have a mental breakdown.

So, when you are feeling the end of the semester pressure, and find yourself unable to fully respond to those who worry about you, here's an article that you can send them.

Pick your favorite and send it, or send the whole thing. Depending on your major... you may be feeling every one of these.

Stay strong my fellow peers, the end is near.




Dear parents,

If you are sitting at the dinner table and it's the first meal with your child who just returned home from a rigorous semester and you look up to see that they look like this... just know that they gave everything they had.


... Be easy on us.

Sincerely,

A second-semester junior whose "finals week" came about a month too early.

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.
