Dead Week and Finals

There will be a lot of caffeine and tears, and not as much sleep.

Well college kids, the dreaded "finals" are quickly approaching. Somehow, almost four months have already come and gone, with the end of the first semester almost within reach. This is my freshman year of college, which means this is my first experience with college finals. I would be lying if I said I was not the slightest bit nervous.

Here are some quotes and images that are adequate representations of how students feel about finals.

1. No sleep

2. You will probably choose the caffeine and most definitely need something to hold your tears

3. Nothing has ever been truer than this

4. Operation write as small as humanly possible

5. More crying and self pity

6. *Sigh*

7. You probably won't look your best

Dead week and finals week are tough. That is no secret. But, to all of the highly caffeinated, sleep deprived, stressed out, crying, college students, keep your eye on the prize. Remember, you just have to make it through these next two weeks, and then you get to go home for a month for winter break, and do all of the fun things that go along with that.

"You are capable of more than you know."

Now, go kick some butt and finish strong!

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.
