7 Things All College Students Want During Finals Week
Science Fiction and Fantasy

It's scary to think about, but most of us college students will be out for summer break in just over a month. But before we can think about summer and all the memories we'll make, we have to survive one of the most dreaded weeks ever: finals week. For that span of five days, there are some things all of us wish we had.

1. Sleep.

Nothing sounds better to a stressed college student during finals week than a full night of sleep. Unfortunately, that's a rarity.

2. Coffee.

Because we don't get enough sleep, coffee becomes our go-to for energy more often than it already is. Spending ridiculous amounts of money on it suddenly becomes socially acceptable during finals week.

3. Time machine.

Getting to the last day finals is obviously dreaded, but once we realize how impossible it is to avoid it, we just want it to speed up. Not to mention how dire our needs are for summer vacation. If possible, it would be great if we could hop in a time machine and land on our first day of break.

4. Photographic memory.

Who wants to spend a week studying for exams that will mean nothing in just a few years?! I am positive that every college student wishes he or she was able to simply remember snapshots of notes and vocab definitions instead of studying the same questions for hours on end.

5. Ice cream.

This is pretty self-explanatory...

6. Delivery without the delivery fee.

The last thing I want to worry about is spending extra money for someone to deliver food. That's my gas money, bro!!!

7. Clean pants.

Laundry is not a thing during finals week, so having pants that haven't been worn in the last week would be swell.

Surely there are more things I could name, but it's probably better that I keep it short...

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.
