Bad grades are more common than you think

5 Ways To Cope After Seeing Your Grades

Some college kids would cope by drinking/partying, but here are more enjoyable (and "harmless") ways to manage your stress.

1. Take a nap.


Nothing says "idgaf" more than napping. At least you won't remember how badly you've done on your exams in your sleep.

2. Eat ice cream. Lots and lots of ice cream.


It's proven that this dessert lights up the same pleasure center in the brain as winning money or listening to your favorite music.

3. Binge watch an entire season of Jane the Virgin.


Who's not dying to know what happens next in the upcoming season?

4. Pet animals.


Pet as in the verb. But also the noun, whichever works.

5. Keep up to date with Trump's news.


Just kidding. That can NOT be good for your mental health.

However you wind down after exams is up to you. Just don't get too worked up over grades! In reality, grades aren't that important, as long as you survive college and graduate, that's all that really matters.

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.

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

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.
