5 Expectations for Finals Week

The time is upon us once again: Finals Week. This week rolls around once a semester, twice a year, and it feels like the end as we know it. Everyone who skipped class, doodled instead of taking notes, or passed their iclickers onto a friend will be visiting every teacher begging for extra credit. Everyone who went to class, took notes instead of doodled, and took their friends iclickers will also be visiting every teacher begging for extra credit. No matter how hard you work or how much time you put into your class there is always room for improvement, at least thats what our professors and grades like to show. So here is a list of how thousands of college students will feel throughout the next upcoming weeks:

1. Exhausted

There will be absolutely no sleep. If you're sleeping then you're not studying, and not studying means you will fail. So don't expect to sleep.

2. The emotion hangry becomes real

The only activity that takes place, besides studying, is eating. If you aren't studying then you are munching on cookies, pretzels, grapes, really anything in my way could risk getting eaten.

3. The library is the last place to go during finals week

Everyone may think the library is the one place you should go during finals week, but they are wrong. The library is the most social place in all of campus. No one studies, but they go there so they think they have studied, but in reality they talked to their friends or took 150 study breaks.

4. We learn how to fake it, even if we can't make it

Finals week is the one week where we, as college students, learn how to fake and hide our emotions. We act like we know what the teacher is talking about, we tell our parents (and ourselves) everything will be fine, and we might even dress to pretend like it is.

5. The day after finals is better then Christmas

The blessed day after finals can make anyone smile. You know you're finished and somehow managed to pull it off.

So good luck everyone!

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.
