5 Ways To Get Through The End Of The Semester Without Failing

As hard as the last few weeks of school are there are some things that just cannot be avoided..like final exams. The weather is warm and the sun is out and truly the last thing anyone wants to do is be inside cramming for a test. It's easy to just give up as your motivation diminishes, find something to be inspired by, knock yourself off the plateau.

1. Breathe.

Take a few minutes each day to yourself, for yourself by yourself. Allow yourself to relax, you can't get anything done when worrying, stress paralyzes. To calm down, make a list of priorities of classes by importance.

2. Treat yo-self.

Get that donut, eat that pizza, get your nails done, take an adventure. Get your mind off what lays ahead. During your breaks, it is essential to bring your mind away from academics.

3. Go outside.

Fresh air is underrated, nature heals in the most amazing way. During study breaks stretch your legs...or better yet, study outside if you can!

4. Workout.

Get those endorphins pumping. A quick sweat session will help you clear your mind and be able to recharge.

5. Reward.

For every hour study, watch two hours of Netflix. Haha, but in all seriousness, do it. It can be daunting to try and get everything done at once, so don't. Plan in advance so you don't get caught up in overwhelming feelings.

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.
