Dead Week? More Like Dread Week.

Those baggy eyes and sweatpants don't define you.

Dead Week? More Like Dread Week.

It's two weeks before finals. Have you sort of slacked the whole year and finally deciding to get your shit together? Same here. Here are a few thoughts about how I am feeling right about now:

1. When the teacher tells me the final is always the easiest.

I don't know about you, but if the final was the easiest, I wouldn't be chomping on my nails, calculating my "what if" score to see how low of a grade I can get on the test and still maintain a solid C.

2. Lol, Sundays.

Have you ever spent all weekend procrastinating? You had a great time. You got the privilege to see all of your friends. You look at the date. It's Sunday. 11:30 p.m. You have a paper due at midnight. Panic.


3. "Are you sick?"

More than likely no. I just haven't showered, brushed my hair or eaten in the past four days, but it's fine because everyone is in the same boat as me, right?

4. Sleeping no longer fits into my schedule.

I feel like a new person if I go to bed before 1:00 a.m. during dead week. The bags I get under my eyes really compliment the determination and hard work I have finally decided to put into my education.

5. I get a little emotional.

Someone may accidentally bump into me. I'll cry. I may spell a word wrong and my computer will autocorrect it. I'll cry. I may find a $10 bill on the ground. I'll cry. I'm not emotional right now, just losing my mind. It's fine.

6. One of my study tips:

It actually works. Marker doesn't get blurry. Writing will always be clear. Oh, make sure you have tissues nearby, you don't want tears on your lap or all over your shirt.

7. I always make sure to thank the teacher.

Maybe mumble under your breath, though.

8. My stress level is Britney Spears in 2007.

I haven't shaved my hair off my head yet, so I guess I'm ahead on that.

9. So slap happy.

My reaction to everything that someone says, especially at 10 p.m.

10. Currently thinking about my last final and summer break.

Except I would keep the pencil because I am too broke.

We are all struggling, anxiety filled, sleep deprived students. Good luck to all of you, I know I am going to need it. Hang in there because summer break is so close. Just two more weeks. Thank God.

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.
