This week just needs to be over... Or not exist

7 Feelings You Have During Midterm Week
Her Campus

You see, with it being midterm week here on campus, I am having a whirlwind of emotions running through me right now. Between pure excitement and pure terror, I'm not really sure if I'm enjoying this week.

With the way my school's great football schedule was created this semester, our homecoming week is the same week as midterms. So you can now understand how someone could be excited, yet so scared for a week like this one.

With this being my third go-around of midterms, I can only express all of the feelings I go through during this week.

1. Pure terror..

Not only will they make or break your grade, these exams often fall on the same day.

2. Sleep deprivation

The best part of midterms week is getting 14 hours of sleep... Over the span of a week.

3. Complete FOMO

While some people are out having loads of fun with their friends, you have to have a crazy night at the library, studying.

4. Mental breakdowns

I promise I'm not crying because something actually happened. I'm just crying because I'm going to fail all of my midterms this week.

5. Stress eating.... Everything and anything

I don't care if it's bad for me or if it's my roommates. I'm stress eating, and I don't care.


6. Regrets

I feel like just about every person will go through the feelings of regret once midterm exams roll around. Either regretting going out so often and procrastinating studying, or just regretting not trying as hard on assignments so the exam grades wouldn't matter. Or if you're like me, you regret all of those and binge watching Netflix shows the week before.

7. Mental breakdown #2

Trying to cope with sleep deprivation and the thoughts that your grades are going to tank can cause an unexplainable amount of stress crying.


Hopefully all the studying and late nights at the library will pay off.. But until then I will be experiencing all of these feelings (at least once, maybe twice.)

Good luck to everyone on midterms, because I know I surely need it!

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.
