How Finals Can Ruin The Holidays
Brian Wu

Fall quarter finals are just placed on the worst days. It's pretty much winter break, why can't we sit back, relax, and enjoy it. Instead, we got finals to stress out about and to kill the mood. The holidays are for rejoicing and eating like conquerors.

After Thanksgiving break comes Christmas. Before everyone leaves for break, you and your friends want to plan Friendsmas. Only problem is that everyone is busy studying for finals and finishing up on projects. No one has time to be cooking and spending time on the food instead of studying. You also can't make time to hang out with friends before the holidays since everyone has different schedules and different final times.

The stress gets to you and prevents you from effing enjoying your friends' company. Let's be real, the only people who can enjoy finals week like they want to are the people who aren't worried about their classes. They can get drunk, with the new law, get high, go out and have whatever fun they'd like. Good for all y'all, seriously. But we still got school to focus on and pray we don't fail that class we're only studying the night before for.

The stress kills the holiday spirit because all we can think about is finals. We can't be wasting our brain power on future holiday plans and effing Christmas presents. Trying to think of a good Christmas present will take up so much more time than you will think. You will tell yourself, "Oh, I can think of the right presents no problem. It can't be too hard. I'd like to say I know my family pretty well". Now some people do know their family very well, so good on you guys for being great a great family members, but for the rest of us, we be struggling.

The holidays are for enjoying yourself but its kinda hard to when you got stress hanging over your head. Finals are so important but such a nuisance. Hopefully everyone has studied hard and can get through it so good luck everybody and happy holidays!

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.
