Every college student has a different experience with finals. Some have massive amounts of exams, others may not have as many. But there is one thing in common: stress. It is well known that most college students have a stressful couple of weeks between Thanksgiving break and Christmas break to take care of final papers, projects, and exams. This intense rush can make the Grinch a little more understandable than we might expect.

1. Having a ridiculously long to-do list can dominate your daily routine

2. Getting overwhelmed by the workload can bring on some breakdowns

3. Turning the library into a bunker can put some social activities on the back burner

4. Snacking and procrastination are some pretty serious distractions

5. Reading possible essay topics for final exams can go a little bit like this...

6. When professors give extra assignments while you're trying to study

7. Watching people not even cracking open a book when you haven't slept in days

8. Finally getting ready to finally go back home and see your family for Christmas!

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.

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.
