Finals: A Playlist

We all need a little musical encouragement.

Finals:  A Playlist
Disposable Photography

By the time the end of the semester rolls around, it's hard to stay motivated. It's hard to go on. Your classes have already sucked all that you thought they could out of you and yet they keep demanding more.

One class wants a ten page paper, the other wants a group project and another wants you to make a significant contribution to society in about a week. Finals is what separates the children from the adults, but you don't have to do this alone.

Even if you think you do or if you want to do this alone, here's a playlist to keep you company anyway. Show finals week who's boss.

1. Final Countdown - Europe

We're almost there. We all know how many days are left until summer and we're all counting down. It's nothing to be ashamed of.

2. Stressed Out - twenty one pilots


This one doesn't really need an explanation, does it?

3. Eye of the Tiger - Survivor


You can do this! Eye on the prize champ, and by prize I mean summer.

4. Out of the Woods - Taylor Swift

Doesn't finals just feel like a big, dark, deep forest that you can't get out of?

5. Stayin' Alive - Bee Gees

Even when it seems like you can't go on, keep on stayin' alive. Even if it is just barely.

6. Drag Me Down - One Direction

Nobody can drag you down, not even that final you forgot to study for.

7. Ironic - Alanis Morissette


Finals week isn't complete without some classic angst and anger at the universe.

8. Focus - Ariana Grande


As hard as we all know it is, you just have to keep your head to you books and focus on studying and getting through.

9. Livin' On A Prayer - Bon Jovi


Divine intervention sometimes feels like the only hope we have left during exams.

10. Really Don't Care - Demi Lovato


For the hardcore only: yell what we're all thinking. "I REALLY DON'T CARE ABOUT YOU FINAL EXAM."

It'll be over before you know it. Have faith and godspeed, fellow collegiate.

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.
