It's the final countdown.

8 Ways To Deal With The Senior Slide
Wandering Fel

Those graduating in May understand the dangerous nature of Senioritis. Though seemingly harmless, the thoughts of freedom plague our tired minds. Procrastination is the worst enemy. We have little motivation and an overwhelming amount of tasks to accomplish.

1. Watch Netflix

With new Netflix originals like 13 Reasons Why or A Series of Unfortunate Events, there are so many reasons why you and your couch deserve a date. What could be more important than catching up with the pop culture your peers are immersed in.

2. Order Delivery Food

Yes, you do have many options in your fridge or on-campus, but nothing compares to a fresh pizza delivered to you. Pick your poison, and settle in with an obsence amount of food.

3. Stare At Your Homework

15-20 minutes should be just enough to realize that you really, really don't want to do this. Maybe an additional five will make you realize that you have definitely made the wrong choice of major and that you officially hate your life.

4. Nap

Preparing yourself to do homework is exhausting. You probably have 5-6 hours of work, so this is the perfect time to lay down and avoid responsibilities.

5. Unnecessary Grocery Shop

24/7 shopping was created with the college procrastinator in mind. Yes, I should be writing my essay but I would rather spend twenty minutes stress-buying movies from the five dollar movie bin.

6. Browse Social Media

Though you have plenty of homework and studying ahead, you can never be too sure that you are missing something. What if there is a new and exciting meme we haven't seen? What if there is a new Tasty video that we will never make? There are rounds to do.

7. Cry

Yes, this is life. Reality may seem bleak, but there isn't much left.

8. Give Up

Don't worry, it's just this time of the year! You will overcome all of the obstacles ahead. You will graduate.

It's almost over, friends.

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.
