6 Things I'd Rather Be Doing Than Studying For Finals Told By Christmas Music
Kameron Hurley


"YOU’RE A MEAN ONE, MR.FINAL’S, YOU ‘RE AS CHARMING AS AN EEL"

1.) Sleeping

“SLEEP IN HEAVENLY PEACE”
Yes, we know nobody ever goes to bed early in college but when it comes to finals you could be up for days at a time, not even studying. You could enjoy a nice movie, karaoke hour or even snacking away with your roommate.

2.) Watching the 25 Days of Christmas

“IT’S THE MOST WONDERFUL TIME OF THE YEAR.”

From The Polar Express to Elf and everything in between, re-watching these movies 100 times sounds a heck of a lot better than even opening your biology notebook or doing practice problems for stats.

3.) Going back home early

“THERE’S NO PLACE LIKE HOME FOR THE HOLIDAY’S”

There’s nothing quite like that smell of fresh baked cookies and Christmas trees when you walk into your house after being away for so long ( and for so long, I mean 2 weeks). I’d rather be spending time with my family than understanding Psychology 101 because one month of vacation just doesn’t seem long enough.

4.) Going on adventures and looking at Christmas lights

“A ’54 CONVERTIBLE TOO, LIGHT BLUE”

There are so many cute little towns in New Hampshire that are decorated and so pretty to walk the main street and see so many different trees and fronts of stores all decorated with Christmas cheer. Sometimes I think these lights are brighter than my future but these thoughts will subside as soon as finals are over.

5.) Playing games with my friends

“THEY NEVER LET POOR RUDOLPH JOIN IN ANY REINDEER GAMES.”

Well thank god I am not a reindeer because I love to play games with my friends. These types of games can vary from game pigeon on my iPhone to card games and they can relieve so much stress by just being around people who make you feel happy.

6.) Spending time with my friends who also procrastinate

“FAITHFUL FRIENDS WHO ARE SO DEAR TO US, GATHER NEAR TO US ONCE MORE” Enjoy spending time with your friends at college for the time you have because soon it will be Christmas break and you won’t see them for a month. These friends aren't like any other because they understand the struggles of finals and want you to succeed but they want to have a good time and go out with a bang.

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.
