We all know what week it is. The dreaded finals week. And we have all been going through mental battles, late night struggles, near-death experiences, and have become out of the roof stress balls, all in one week. (Well, if you're like me, then you have probably been this way all semester). Now that the week is slowly but surely fading away and we can now hear the sweet calls of summer, here are a few ways you can de-stress yourself.

1. Do absolutely nothing.

As much as we all know how to do this, now you can do it without having a panic attack.

2. Take a nice, warm, relaxing bubble bath.

Oh yeah. Just sit back, realx, with a nice glass of wine (or kool-aid).

3. Read whatever you want.

Not that you haven't been doing it before, but now you can do it without subconsciously panicking about not doing your homework.

6. Treat yo self.

Probably not a good idea if your bank account is sad like most college students, but we all probably just failed those half-assed assignments, so why not make matters worse?

7. Meditate.

That's right. Get all your chakras aligned girl. Get yourself back together, not just mentally, but spiritually too.

8. Listen to music.

I don't know why, but having time to just sit down and enjoy music is really relaxing.

9. Sleep, JUST SLEEP.

Sleep for all of the nights you stayed up studying. Sleep for all the people that are still having to study. Just sleep.

10. Give yourself a speech on how you aren't going to wait until the last minute to finish all of your assignments and classes....

even though you know you are just going to repeat the cycle next semester.

Now that summer is around the bend, don't stop believing. Hold on to the feeling of relaxation. Turn in your last assignment and break free. It's time for SUMMER! And some seriously needed sleep.

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.
