Coffee, ice cream, and tears all in one.

5 Things You Know To Be True During Finals Season

1. Do you even have time to eat?

Every hour of your day is planned with something new: class until 12:00, study for calc exam until 1:00, group project at 3, class at 6…When will I ever have time to go to Chick-Fil-A?

2. Coffee is the new water.

At this point you know you should be going to bed early before the exam, and you’re probably kicking yourself for not preparing a few days earlier. You also know coffee is bad for you, but you drink an unhealthy amount anyway because sleep is for the weak.

3. The library is basically your new home.

Sitting at your desk in your dorm isn’t very efficient when you have candy in your drawer, your phone right at your fingertips, and your bed less than 10 feet away from you. It only takes a second to walk over to your bed and promise yourself you’re only going to sleep for 20 minutes…Only to find yourself red-eyed, confused, hungry, and even more tired 2 hours later.

4. Ice cream is comfort

The Tonight Dough, Half-Baked, or Talenti Caramel Crunch gelato that's twice as expensive? I mean you don't really need it, but it is comforting.

5. Making a billion different plans of what you're going to do the minute finals are over instead of studying.

Am I going home? I wonder what show I'm going to binge watch next on Netflix... I really do need to treat myself to more shopping. Those 30+ hours of sleep I'm about to get are looking real nice.

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.
