5 Tips To Help You Through Finals Week
We Know Memes

The birds are chirping. The sun is out, and students are out having fun. It's almost the end of the year. Although finals are approaching for some, and already here for others, this is an exciting time for most of us. School is almost out, and our break is finally here. I will be staying on campus this summer, but most people go home, and because of this, it is time for most people to spend a lot of time with their families. Spending time with family can be stressful as well as entertaining and eventful. Here are five things to help you get through finals and finally have the summertime that you deserve!

1. Make sure you use your time wisely to study!

Don't wait until the last minute. Really, this is a horrible idea. Start studying at least a few days ahead of time especially if you have multiple exams on the same day.

2. Drink caffeine!

Trust me, you'll need it. Even though you'll be using your time wisely, you might need a few extra hours of study time to be able to do your best.

3. Get some sleep.

You won't be of any good use for studying, having fun, or taking finals if you aren't well-rested. It has been proven for years that having enough sleep helps people during test-taking. So put down those notes for a few hours and take a much needed nap.

4. As much as it may seem like you're supposed to spend all of your time studying during finals week, it's actually good for you to take a break.

Do something fun, once in a while. Get out of your room, put down your textbooks, and forget about your stresses for a little bit.

5. Remember that the end is near!

It will all be over soon, and then you have the whole summer to decompress and not think about school at all! You can do this. I have faith in you!

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening. In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ‘wildest dreams’. It is the reason supporters keep coming back to her shows each year. Days later, I’m still in awe of the spectacle ‘Miss Americana’ puts on every few days in a new city. And, like one of Taylor’s exes, has me smiling as I reminisce about the memories of the night we spent together.

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.
