Sleepless night, loads of caffeine, and mental breakdowns are all synonyms for one thing: finals week. As a college student, this is the most dreadful week, as some exams will make or break you. You might see people crying outside of the library, or maybe sleeping at their table, and all you can think is, “same.” Aside from trying to calculate what grades we need on our finals in order to pass the class, here are some things that go through all of our minds during finals week.

Ok, I’ll start studying a week from finals week.

*week before finals comes* *still doesn’t start studying*

It’s okay, I have plenty of time

Crap, it’s Saturday and I have a final on Monday

Okay I’ll wake up really early on Sunday and study

* hits snooze a million times*


Who has a table at the library?

Is it even worth going to the library?

Maybe I’ll just stay home and study

But then I won’t get stuff done

I’ll just look at Instagram for five minutes...


Finals were created by Satan himself

Do you think there will be a curve?

Maybe I should go for a run and get my mind off of studying

But I haven’t even started studying yet?

I’m procrastinating by reading this article

I’m procrastinating in general

How hard can this final be? Do I need to study that much?

Okay, I should really start studying

I need coffee


*opens book for the first time all semester*

When did we learn this?

Maybe I should have gone to class

Next semester will be different

Wait, I said that last semester too…

Only 144 hours, 23 minutes, and 24 seconds until I’m free

I’m 110% failing this final.

I wasn't made for college

I'm dropping out

Mark Zuckerberg didn't go to college and he created Facebook

Speaking of Facebook...


I've been studying for 10 hours and still know nothing

I'm just going to sleep, I'll wake up tomorrow and study more

Probably won't, but it's the thought that counts.

*Looks at the first question on the exam*


Do. Not. Panic.


I should've studied more.

From one stressed out college student to another, good luck on finals and may the odds be ever in your favor.

AI music threatens creativity

In an age where artificial intelligence can mimic the voice of Freddie Mercury or reimagine pop hits as synthwave ballads, a new frontier has emerged — one that blurs the line between innovation and erosion. While AI offers undeniable benefits in technical domains, its intrusion into creative arts, especially music, raises urgent questions. Not just about copyright, but about culture, education, and the very soul of artistic expression.

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.

Why Your Astrological Sign May Not Match Your Personality

We are all more than just one sign.

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.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

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.
