5 Ways to De-Stress During Finals Week
Megan Waterhouse

. Car Jams

With finals week approaching, we all need to cut loose! The best way I have found is car jamming, also known as dancing in the car to awesome music with friends whilst driving. :) My personal favorite song to car jam during this time of year is "Mistletoe" by Justin Bieber.

2. Naps

I will always stand behind naps and promote them, especially whilst I am in college! Naps are the perfect way to recharge and escape the stresses of this time of studying and ugly-crying.

3. Work Out

I despise working out just as much as the next girl, however working out has been proven to help reduce stress and boost moods, all things we need during finals week!

4. Bible Reading/Studies

I am a big believer in turning to Christ in times of need, whether that be heartbreak, anger, or stress. When you are in the midst of a panic about all that you need to get done and the grade that will result from this week, take it to God! He always has an ear to listen to his children and desires for you to talk to him throughout every situation. Ways to do so can include: prayer, reading his word (the Bible), and joining in fellowship with other believers.

5. Be Prepared

As counterintuitive as it sounds, preparing for your finals and sticking your nose in the books can help de-stress you prior to an exam. The more prepared you are, the less worried you need to be! You know the material and now, therefore, only must regurgitate it onto paper!

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.
