Finals just begin? Mom, Dad, or your best friend from high school thinking about sending you a care package? Slyly share this article on Facebook to drop all the hints you need to…

New Sweatpants

You can actually never have too many of these. And you're going to want to wear them all day. But you know, it'd be sanitary to have a new pair every day.

Coffee gift cards

Starbucks, Dunkin, Tim Hortons, or whatever shop is closest to you, get your GPA gas for free and worry about the exam, not the expenses.

Lunch gift cards

Stay out of the house and away from your bed! This is the one time you should be encouraged to eat lunch out for your own good. (But try to keep it healthy!) Some good spots at Ohio State where you can order something that will leave you feeling fresh are Pita Pit, Panera, Chipotle (if you order right!), and Berry Blendz.

Sports balls

On that health-nut note, encourage us to take a fun study break by throwing around a tennis ball in the study room with our friends, or tossing a football outside as long as our cold hands can take it to re-energize. Frisbees have always been a college staple!

Power food snacks

Any kind of nut, dried fruits, granola bars, homemade trail-mix, something to hold us over while we study and put off lunch and dinner to finish that damn paper.

Holiday movies

For when the storm passes, the snow sets in, and you finally get to chill-ax.

Reusable water bottle

I say specifically get one with a straw (reusable!). They're hard to clean if you don't have a dishwasher, but they're so much easier to continuously drink while you study, and hydration is super important to stay awake for long hours working.

Studying supplies

The fun ones! Colored pens, sticky notebook tabs, highlighters (the ones with the clear part of the tip, my guilty pleasure), a 2019 planner to get excited about, etc. Pick your poison!

Notes with everything you love about them

I know I'm not the only one who uses low grades and my malfunctioning ability to schedule out writing a paper against my self-esteem. Notes that personal, specific, and authentically your opinion of how awesome I still am will always help bring us back down to earth when our head goes crazy with self-loathing comments.

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.
