Finals Week As Told by Boy Meets World
Hypable

Finals week is coming up, which means just about everyone on campus is seconds away from a nuclear sized mental or emotional breakdown and the built up stress has created tension so thick you could cut it with a knife. As stressed out as we are, there are a few things in this world that can bring us some sanity, Boy Meets World being one of them. Whenever I'm feeling the anxiety hit, I pull up YouTube and watch one of my favorite episodes (yes, they're all on there). Never fear, the original squad is here to keep you sane during one of the roughest weeks of the semester.

It finally hits you that next week is finals week and you haven't started studying. Your heart drops; the feeling of panic has officially set in.

You hit the library with all your books and every intention of studying. However, people feel the need to whisper (you're in the quiet section, honestly, please stop) or walk by every two seconds and you keep getting distracted. You try to focus on your textbooks but most of the time you end up sitting there like this:

You go to the math review session but still feel completely lost. Since you're too embarrassed to admit that you've had no idea what's been going on all semester, you just sit in silence and nod your head.

Everyone is living in sweatpants at this point. The second you put on a pair of jeans, someone asks you who you're trying to impress.

All of your friends are in the library or their professors' office hours 24/7. There's no one in your residence hall and the cafeteria is almost empty. Walking around your ghost town of a campus is like:

After a long weekend of studying, it's officially time for your first exam. You're feeling calm and mostly collected until the professor walks in with a stack of blue books. Suddenly, you feel the urge to run out of the room like this:

Like Shawn, you plot your escape multiple times during the test. If I start crying, do I automatically get an A?

You flip through the pages to find out there are over 100 multiple choice questions. What kind of terrible human could do this to you?

There are some questions that you swear you never discussed in class. Were you absent that day? Is the professor just evil? Why doesn't any of this make sense?

You've finally made it to the essay portion and you're pretty much home free. However, you're nearly brain dead and ready to be done. You think you've hit your breaking point, but somehow you still manage to come up with a few good ideas.

The test is finally over and a feeling of relief washes over you. You're feeling pretty confident until you start talking to your classmates and realize you all put down different answers.

After weeks of studying and preparing (more like lots of late night hours of cramming), you make it to your last exam of the semester. You weren't sure that you'd actually survive, but summer is within reach.

You turn in the blue book and run out of the classroom. You've officially made it and now you're feeling like this:

Or this:

And definitely like this:

That is, until they mail your grades home.

Good luck on finals, everyone! Remain calm and try to keep your stress to a minimum. Remember that summer is so close, you can do this! And, when you need a study break, remember that the Boy Meets World gang is hanging out on YouTube for you to enjoy.

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.

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

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.
