Odyssey Online

It's finally here. The dreaded finals week has graced us with its presence. Getting to spend quality hours in the library is something all college students really anticipate. During this week, there are many thoughts that run through students heads, the good, the bad, and the ugly. Everything ranging from, "I totally know this," to "Is it really that bad to drop out of college?" Here are the 50 thoughts that all students have during finals week.

1. Okay. I'm going to study a week in advance, have a great schedule made, and stick to it.

2. *week later* Okay. I'm going to study all day the day before the exam.

3. I'm going to wake up early, eat healthy, go to bed at a reasonable hour, and I'm going to nail these exams.

4. Maybe more like wake up before noon, eat lots of McDonalds, stay up till 2 am procrastinating, and I just have to pass the exam and I'll be okay.

5. Do I really need to even study?

6. McDonald's employees do make decent money.

7. If I drop out now that means I don't have to study at all.

8. Let me just Google the jobs you can get without a college degree.

9. Oh, but then there is that college debt issue.

10. Guess I do have to study then.

11. Wow has it been a half hour already? I deserve a break.

12. *after 2 hour break* Well it's lunch time so I guess I have to take another break. Can't study on an empty stomach.

13. I'm feeling pretty full after that lunch. I should take a nap.

14. *takes 2 hour nap* Good now I'm feeling refreshed and ready to study.

15. When did we learn this stuff?

16. Wait, why did I take this class?

17. When will I ever need to know this?

18. Wow I should be an artist with these doodles.

19. I was good at art in the fourth grade, maybe I can make a career out of this.

20. No I don't want to be a starving artist.

21. Speaking of starving, I should text everyone I know and see who wants to go for dinner.

22. But only a quick dinner because I have got to study for this final.

23. *goes to dinner for an hour and a half* Wow that was faster than I thought.

24. Ok it's only 7:30 I still have so much time to study.

25. Oh nuggets, Christmas is in like a week and I haven't shopped for anyone yet.

26. Guess I need to go on Pinterest and look up cute ideas for presents for everyone I know.

27. Maybe I should check my bank account. Haven't done that in a while.

28. Oh good. I have no money for Christmas.

29. Guess most of my friends aren't getting gifts this year.

30. Maybe I can ask mom for money.

31. Nope just got money from her last week.

32. Back to the drawing board.

33. Oh maybe I can pick up some hours when I go home for break.

34. No then that will take away from my quality family time.

35. By that I mean laying on the couch and binging on Netflix.

36. Okay I've been on Pinterest for an hour now, I really have to study.

37. Wait did someone say they're going to McDonalds?

38. I could definitely use a break to treat myself...again.

39. Alright, it's 9 I really have to study now.

40. *studies for an hour* Wow I really know this stuff.

41. Ask me anything I can answer it no problem.

42. Okay maybe don't ask me that one.

43. I should probably study some more.

44. *11:30 pm* Wow it's late I really need some rest before a big exam.

45. I'll just study in the morning when I wake up.

46. Studies do show that you retain more when you go to bed early.

47. Glad I can remember that fact. Maybe I'll remember stuff I actually need for my exam.

48. Dream about all those A's I won't be getting.

49. It's okay, C's do get degrees.

50. It's a later problem.

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.
