Exam Week Survival Guide

Feeling stressed out about finals? Not sure what to do? Check out this helpful and fully inclusive list to get your through the week!

1. The only food you need is coffee. Who needs nutrition when you have caffeine?

2. When in doubt, guess. When guessing, always pick the D.

3. When you see an animal, pet it. Animals bring happiness. Who cares if the squirrel is running away -- you chase that squirrel!

4. Write your study guide on your arm. Tell your professor it's a new tattoo.

5. When he doesn't believe you, cry. It never fails.

6. Have you had caffeine in the last three hours? No? Fix it. Your blood is coffee now.

7. Studies have shown that procrastination is the best form of studying. You should study 10 minutes before the exam and then yell at the professor for not giving you enough time.

8. Quiet hours are just a suggestion. Blast your music as loud as you can!

9. Feeling down lately? Pull an all-nighter to make yourself feel alive.

10. Don't have enough time to study? You should definitely spend three hours in line waiting for Refuel. Who cares if it runs out by the time you get there?

11. Crying yourself to sleep is nothing to be ashamed of. It builds character.

12. If you're running late, just drive to class. Make sure not to speed, but to drive straight through the building to the classroom. Please lock your door before going to your desk per NCDOT regulations.

13. Tired? Fall asleep on the nearest surface. Any surface will do. Yes, the sidewalk counts.

14. If you are the first to finish, make as much noise as possible to assert your dominance over your peers as you strut out of the room.

15. Please remember that this time is temporary and will pass. Your GPA, however, is permanent and will haunt you forever.

Happy Finals Week Everyone! I hope these tips made you smile. Please stay safe and sane and remember that we will get through it! Good luck!

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.
